Wow ... I did not see that happening.
Welcome to the volunteer military. This should surprise nobody...all because males like those in the Romney, Burr & Sununu families don’t want to serve in the military. The Modern Romans.
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 wonder what the rate will be if there’s ever a real war situation, like a world war.
My oldest boy is in the Marine Corps and said most women should never have graduated boot camp at Parris Island when he was there, and the women he sees now are for the most part useless.
He is in a combat unit.
Saying this women should serve, but to put them on ships, then they get pregnant, and then they get back to port where they cannot deploy anymore due to their pregnancy, and are given a desk job takes away from the man power needed.
Perform DNA test on the baby. If the father is a crew member kick both of them out of the Navy, unless there was a rape involved. In case of rape, the man goes to Leavenworth.
### dammit!! I can’t get a post on here before someone else posts what I wanted to say!!!
Three times in two days!!
It’s the fault of Russian spies that those female sailors meet while on shore leave.
I soon half expect to read this in the main stream media.
I’ve heard, someone correct me if I’m wrong, that sexual activity in the ranks/fraternization, etc. is against military regulations.
So, if that’s true, a pregnant girl by definition has violated military regulations. And so is the one who got her in that condition.
Or is sexual activity really not against regulations?
And I don’t want to just blame the female, because for every pregnancy a man had to be involved, and he too needs to face the consequences.
Do we have to be “politically correct” in military policies? If there is incentive to get pregnant to get off the ship, then change the policy so people don’t do that anymore.
My son told me that the aircraft carriers have full blown prostitution rings on board. He just got out a couple of years ago.
It’s the seaman curse.
just ANOTHER LIBTARD pc program doomed to fail from inception....
When I was assigned to the USS ENTERPRISE nearly half of the junior enlisted females got pregnant before deployment. Now the Navy wants to put them on submarines. The problem is magnified on a submarine, when a trained crew member cant make deployment, they have to borrow from another boat.
ROTFL! Can’t say we didn’t tell them so. You can’t fix stupid.
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.
Don't like your duty assignment? GET KNOCKED UP!
F'ing stupid to put women aboard ships.
Have these horndogs never heard of birth control? They should be discharged for stupidity.
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.
Too many “missiles” deployed.
The birth rate in the U.S. is declining so the Navy has stepped up to fill the void.
Must be something in the water.
