Getting pregnant while in the military ... How would you fix the system - Page 1

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Getting pregnant while in the military ... How would you fix the system (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 8/23/2008 6:21:13 PM EDT

Reading another thread, and hearing a member of the Air Force state:

In the .mil getting knocked up is the instant gravy train. In my job (aircraft maintenance) as soon as she finds out she's preggo she can no longer do her job due to the chemicals, noise, etc. So she gets a cushy bullshit office job, then for 3 months prior to downloading it's 4 hour shifts and she gets a month off after with no leave charged. Of course she's exempt from PT and testing for the whole pregnancy and 6 months afterward, so if she gets knocked up again right away she can be as fat and out of shape as she likes for her whole enlistment. It's a great system. I've known several worthless welfare bums wearing a uniform and collecting a paycheck despite never doing their actual jobs. One did six years in the .mil without ever touching an airplane, got her BS degree and had four kids. Thanks taxpayers!

Really makes me think that loophole should be closed. Serving your nation is an honorable thing because it is a sacrifice. This raises the question, should their be limitations on female soldiers becoming pregnant while serving? Should they be limited on the number of times they can become pregnant per a set time period?

If you soldiers missing deployments, some of them purposely, by becoming pregnant; what's the point in keeping them around?

If a male soldier were to sustain an injury, off the job, that would prevent him from performing his duties for over a year, what would happen to him? Whatever happens to them should happen to a female

Having a wife that is AD Air Force, I would say that there is nothing wrong with the system. There is something wrong with the people that abuse the system though.

Wait, I smell another "I Hate All Women In Uniform" thread...

How is a female who purposely gets pregnant for the sole reason to avoid a deployment any different than a deserter?

Had the same problem when I was in...

Hell, we had a chick mechanic SHOW UP preggers when she checked in.

It happened to 3 chicks in our shop and it made up short handed that deployment.

Its bullshit.

The question I'm asking is how do we prevent the abuse, and how do we define "abusing the system" versus "building a family".

I fully believe women in the military should be allowed to have kids. It's a question of what we need to do to make sure our female soldiers stay combat ready.

That's exactly the problem.

So I guess the question really becomes "Should a policy be put in place that would stop the abuse of the system, but at the same time would hurt the ability of female soldiers to build a family?"

I guess it really boils down to what is more important for the soldier, family or country. I know a lot of soldiers leave the military to start a family, in addition to the military trying to become as family friendly as possible.

Of course that's crazy and unethical, but I think it would create a pretty effective military. The increase in numbers would be astronomical, and the kids would be from military families, so they would (as a whole) be of a better quality for service than average.

We had a female who was pregnant on my last deployment who did not want to leave the AOR because of it, and could do her job better than the guys. She was an excellent troop. Most guys who were over there were douches anyway.

If males had the option of getting pregnant, do you think it wouldn't happen than?

BTW, Deserters leave with no intention of returning. Pregnancy is a temperary medical condition. Are you saying a female troop getting pregnant is the same as a deserter?

Just have the females line up at formation to take their BC pills. If they STILL get pregnant, give them the Big Chicken Dinner.

A barracks whore spreading her legs to half a regiment and getting regular injections from every swinging dick she can get her vagina on until she gets pregnant (usually a few months before deployment) should be a clue.

You can always tell which unit is about 6 months off from deployment when you start seeing a lot of pregnant chicks wearing the same patch.

On the whole, no.

But when used to get out of a deploment, it's essentially a temporary desertion from one's duty. If both males and females could become pregnant, I'd have the same problem.

Look at it this way: If I was injured such that I was not combat ready or able to perform my duty for over a year, what do you think the Army would do with me? I'd put money on a discharge, why should pregnancy be any different?

What would happen to a soldier injured who was partaking in an extremely dangerous activity/sport, say motocross or ultimate fighting, before a deployment? I would bet reduction of rank/pay would happen at the least.

Here is what needs to happen.

As soon as a unit is tagged for deployment, an order goes out. "thou shalt not get pregnant."

If you do, after the order is given and you know your unit is deploying, it is treated the same as missing a movement.

It is pregnancy AFTER an unit has been alerted for mobilization that is irresponsible, and should be punishable.

As should engaging in any activity that you know has a high likelyhood of causing you to miss the deployment and does. Male or Female. Ride your motorcycle drunk or recklessly and get injured after being alerted? Same punishment.

No, not at all.

She just shouldn't get pregnant. If she's not willing to do that (take the precautions necessary), she shouldn't be in that unit. That's sacrifice and it's the reason serving your country is an honorable thing. If one does get pregnant under rare circumstances (BC failure), then something can be worked out to find her another job to perform in the states.

It's the widespread getting knocked up before deployment that's the problem.

Well, if a females who is there and knows she is on a heavy deployment schedule gets pregnant, that impacts the mission. So I would say transferred out with some negative career consequences.

If you want a family, pick a career field where it won't have negative consequences. If you are in one, request assignment where you won't be depended upon to deploy, such as as an instructor or such, for the duration of the time you need BEFORE getting pregnant.
