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? View Quote Attached File |

Quoted: 0.05% what? A LOT higher percent of all Soldiers are female that 0.05%, I guarantee you that. Are you talking about combat arms only? View Quote |

Quoted: 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 View Quote |

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. |

Well if they make the maternity uniform standard for all wome in service you save them time going to supply and the tax payer money.

That's retarded, sir, enlisted never wore pinks & greens. Either matching dark shade olive serge or light OD aka "mustard" serge, never Olive Shade 54.

Or are pregnant .mil, federal employee equivalents, who work for a working wage, utilizing Tricare insurance? Tell me again which one pisses you off... I don't pay taxes to have someone get knocked up and be out of commission for months A female can enlist for 4yrs, get pregnant during Basic or AIT, have 3 kids on the taxpayer dime, and never deploy or go to the field after initial training. Then 3 somebodies, somewhere will have their stateside stability time with their families (or just not being shot at or risking being blown up by IED) cut short in order to fill her billet 3 times for deployments. At the end of 4 years she will have $0 medical bill debt, never risked an ingrown nail, never left the states, and she will still get full college benefits and probably a VA Disability Rating, perhaps for sciatica caused by her pregnancies or childbirth. |

Those uniforms look sharp (other than MAJ Preggo) but they look a lot like they are ripping off the USMC uniform. I am curious what our resident Marines think of it. Seems like they've learned from their earlier uniform travails, though. Better than the Army has. |

Not that I disagree with you, but as a ret. platoon sergeant you should really know what you expect vs what actually happens are two things entirely. Might as well expect them to actually obey the weekend safety brief while you're at it hahaha View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Female soldiers getting pregnant should be punishable under UCMJ. All new Soldiers should be unmarried and childless at the time of basic training. They should not be authorized (receive be nefits)to have dependants untill the rank of E-5. That's my opinion as a retired 11B platoon SGT. Might as well expect them to actually obey the weekend safety brief while you're at it hahaha |

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".

What's her rank, I couldn't tell and what's with all those ribbons. Is she Audie Murphy's granddaughter...

So... What if a career army woman has already been in 10 years and is married and wants to have a child? Should she be able to or have to quit?

No worries. Marine history is actually taught in boot camp pretty thoroughly. Already knew that the Marines served under Army Generals. Same thing with some Marine generals had commands with army battalions in it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

No, the difference between new recruits before the new combat arms policy and after turned out to be .05% more enlisted females joining the Army in FY 2016 ending October 1st 2017 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted: 0.05% what? A LOT higher percent of all Soldiers are female that 0.05%, I guarantee you that. Are you talking about combat arms only? The guy I originally quoted was questioning females in the service, just in a general sense. I was just saying that if you take that 15% (guessing?) away it would have SOME impact on strength levels/recruiting/etc, all other arguments aside. |

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. View Quote 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. |
