This applies to the USMC too.
So....a 4 year enlistment. With 10.6% of it being paid for doing nothing. And 25% of it not being able to be on full duty. Wow. I would not have a problem with this if they got 6 weeks "free" then for every day after that their contract was extended. Otherwise that's a lot of wasted training. |

How much paternity leave?
Some of the faggots at work take months off when their wife is the one with the ripped up twat |

I'm torn.
My cousin is a Naval officer and was required to go back to work at 30 days. A 1 month old baby is not old enough to be child care at most commercial day cares. Plus I don't think they should anyway, that's too young. My wife was able to take 3 months paid leave both times because she is smart and saved her earned leave up. The .mil doesn't give that option. But then again, part of the package when you commit to contract with an organization. If you're a female and want kids then you need to make sure you understand the intricacies of what's required of you. |

View Quote I'm a Naval Officer in a field with many females, and several of them have had children. They were all given 6 weeks paid maternity leave, no personal leave included. Not sure why your cousin only got 30 days, it's been the navy's policy to give 6 weeks for a while. |

Meh, better than welfare View Quote How is it any different? These twats get 4+ fucking months off every time they squeeze out a pup? Awesome. They also get no PT test for a year, light duty for months up to their delivery, and can't do their actual fucking job for one second of the time they are knocked up. Well if they are exposed to chemicals, loud noise, electrical circuits, etc. Their male counterpart doesn't get a fucking year off from doing his job for knocking his girlfriend up. Oh, and 70% of pregnancies in the Navy are "unplanned". Yeah, I bet they fucking are. |

I really haven't seen that happen -- but I've said many times anyone who gets pregnant while attached to a deploying command should simply be immediately separated. If you can't manage your personal life so you can do your job, it's time to go home. The numbers I've personally seen are very small, but those people don't belong in the Navy. |

So...what does it cost for your average E-4 to sit on her ass at home for 4 1/2 months contributing nothing to the mission?.
About $15,000, ~$3300 per month (more for more senior people) About 17% of the Navy is female, ~51,000 About 10% of the females at any one time are pregnant, ~5100 |

Not sure why your cousin only got 30 days, it's been the navy's policy to give 6 weeks for a while. It was 6 weeks 26 years ago. The extra time is good for the newborn and it makes it easier for the mom to comply with the latest guidelines on breast feeding. The problem is that the SECNAV is supposedly doing this to improve retention, but increasing maternity leave won't do much in the designators and NECs where female retention is the worst. Bottom line is that once a woman becomes a mother, she doesn't want to deploy any more, even if she still wants to work outside the home. So, a female surface warfare officer, aviator, or a seagoing enlisted rating will look to either transfer to something with much lower deployment likelihood or get out anyway, regardless of whether her maternity leave is 6 weeks or 18 weeks. |
