It blows my mind that there’s actually a specific uniform for pregnant women. 
Are pregnant women exempted for PT requirements? In the interest of equality, shouldn’t men be able to get 9-month periods of special uniforms and reduced requirements/duties?  Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is just a return to an old WWII style uniform. So are you saying the Marines copied the Army uniform? I don't think they did... That being said, WTF are we already switching uniforms. Stupid as fuck. The first thing this SMA has done that doesn't make sense OR help the lower enlisted... IMO. Other than being a LEG Ranger, which doesn't exist  |

Women who get pregnant while on active duty should be charged with dereliction of duty and dishonorably discharged. They signed a contract to serve their country, not sit there on the tax payers dime not doing their job because they couldn't keep their legs closed.
To be fair, I also think a man who contracts an STD that results in him being unable to perform his duties should get the same treatment. People in the military should have to be combat ready at all times, and a pregnant woman is combat ineffective. |

My nieces daughter just got out of the navy. She got knocked up right after enlistment. She just got out and is complaining that she has no real world skills because she was light duty most of the time. Basically picked up trash and cleaned. I told her "Hell of a paycheck for a molly maid".

As an aside though, I’m digging the shit out of the pink and greens. I thought the regular Class A’s were alright, though they reminded me of the green of USGI blankets. The ASU’s always didn’t feel right to me, they were what we were transitioned to as I got out. Felt like an airline pilot. These ones definitely look iconic and right for the branch.

Big difference between serving in a Ranger Batt and going to a school. Airborne is not a prerequisite to attend Ranger school. Airborne is a prerequisite for SFQC, Jumpmaster, HALO, Rigger, and to serve in Ranger BN. That being said, making it thru Ranger school is a hell of an accomplishment, and I am sure most if not all that earn the Tab, COULD at one point in their career serve in Ranger BN. |
