Women in the Navy are allowed to have sex. They have to keep it within their rank if they are banging someone in the service. The problem is many get pregnant on purpose to miss deployment.

Are they implying that all the pregnancies are due to shipboard dalliances?

That is how I understood it.

I heard that some women on some ships can make MAAAJOR BANK, doing friendly favors for men who’ll pay.

Talk about a hostage customer base, right?

Guaranteed Deployment Ten.

Leavenworth is an Army prison. The Navy has their own prisons.

The intel I got from folks deployed during the first Gulf War (’91) was that women that did not want to be in the sandbox would get pregnant to get shipped state side.

I knew an Intel officer, unit commander type, who got pregnant while in Saudi. This was not a case of wanting to skip out and go home, but the result of not taking precautions was the same. A promising military career was ruined, but more importantly, a vital unit, in theater, during combat, was suddenly without a C.O.

F'ing stupid to put women aboard ships.

Have these horndogs never heard of birth control? They should be discharged for stupidity.

There are no excuses for pregnancies in this day and age. There are all types of birth control. Both parties should be kicked out of the service, dishonorably, for being damn stupid.

I bet a lot of the young blue jackets think 'I can't get pregnanti from just one ****' .... whereas the reality is that you always get pregnant from just one. If it's the right one....

And i wouldn't be surprised if some of the sailorettes are doing this deliberately to get shore duty.

They should be able to reasonably estimate what percentage got pregnant before and after deployment. I would bet most are before deployment and is greater for those who already have a child.

I would also bet the fertility rate after deployment on a submarine would be small.

Sadly, this rings true. In fact, I’d be surprised if there *weren’t* some sort of pay-to-play going on under those circumstances.

Too many “missiles” deployed.

The birth rate in the U.S. is declining so the Navy has stepped up to fill the void.

It is worse than folks let on.

In every rating there are a certain number of ship slots and land slots. So with that rating you spend so many years on a ship, and then so many years at shore, when you can have some sort of normal home life or perhaps pursue and marry a young lady.

Women getting pregnant take away the shore slots, which means sailors who were supposed to have a 18~24 month slot on dry land suddenly get shipped out to fill the empty berth. Totally unfair and a reason you cannot keep a lot of good personal in for a career, especially in some rating where there are not a lot of excess personnel.

It also causes all sort of difficulties on ship. Men together form deep male friendships and a lot of comradeship under adverse circumstances. Lasts a lifetime. Stick a few young fertile women in and it becomes a fight to see who gets laid by whom. No number of harassment classes can defeat basic biology. The comradeship goes by the wayside when every swinging d—k is trying to get entry into the few females around. It is very bad for discipline.

It is bad for the women. You take a objectively 4 or 5 attractiveness female and suddenly in a position where the males outnumber them 4 to 1 and guess what, they are , in that close quarters a 8 or a 9. They have never had such attention before and many act accordingly, they go full slut. Then they get out of the service and find that the inevitable wear and tear, along with the masculine manners they have unknowingly adopted make then a 3.5 or a 4.5 in the real world. It is very sad all round.

The entire social engineering is weakening the military, I expect it will take a real defeat, due to loss of cohesion under fire to cause reality to intrude on this utopian leftist dream of gender equality.

Exactly
They find ship life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Get pregnant.

Sounds like it is time for the US Navy to return to the old military policy of discharging females when they became pregnant.
