No, she didn’t plan properly. She is required to have a “Family Care Plan” for just this type of situation. Her failure to plan is not the Army’s fault.
If she is incapable of serving, she needs to be separated from the service. Another servicemember will be forced to take her place in the rotation possibly cutting short their time stateside with family and loved ones.
She is placing a burden on other members with her inability to fulfill her commitment.
Birth control would have been an option as well. If she wanted to start a family, she should have waited until she was no longer in the rotation or out of the service.
I saw similar prior to our deployment to the Gulf in ‘90 and I’m not very sympathetic. Another had to take their place.

I agree. Someone else will have to pick up her slack. It’s just too damn bad that same person wasn’t picking up her slack when promotions were being awarded.
It’s always chapped my ass that women join the service and get special treatment, and everyone else is expected to treat them as equals.
