If she was discharged and cannot serve why is she reporting for duty ?

Which means she has no family care plan meaning she is discharged. General Patton didn’t have to put up with this, but now we have the volunteer “professional” force which is so much better.

Wasn’t this precise scenario one of the stronger arguments against allowing women to join the Army?

According to what I read on FOX, she got the call-up in December of 2007. Unless that was a typo, her husband has had A WHOLE YEAR to find a new job that will enable him to stay home.

This couple looks like a pair of snot-nosed putzes to me.

A good reason to limit all obligations to a total of six years as used to be the norm. I got my Honorable DC two years after my four years active in the Navy were completed for a total of six years. I did two years US Army NG later on a two year contract. One year of drills and one year inactive. I got my Honorable DC from the Army when the second year had passed.

Having open ended no time restraint enlistment contracts is not healthy for the servicemember nor our military in general. The policy needs to be ended. If she joined in 2002 then 2008 should have been when she recieved a DC and the end of any and all including future obligations.

First of all let me say “not guilty”.

Second, she’s going to be very surprised the the base commander calls Child Protective Services and they haul her kids off to foster care.

Third, I believe when you serve your active time that should be it. I served 4 then had 2 inactive. I could have been called back but, luckily, I wasn’t. And I wouldn’t have liked it had I been.

Fourth, it should be like it used to be. Get pregnant-get discharged. If the army wanted you to have a kid it would have issued one.

Its a very sad story. Now get your family care plan ready and get your butt to Ft Benning.
