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.
I can’t believe some of the comments I’m reading..women should be home barefoot and pregnant and women get special treatment..that is total baloney!!! I’ve met your kind in the AF and they are a minority and didn’t last long. I always wondered what their mothers did to them.
In the Reagan Navy, my brother, on a destroyer tender in the Pacific, saw his ship/shore rotation go from 3 years/3 years to 5 years/1 year when the Navy opened his specialty to women. Navy machinist women at sea often hated the watches and the work and got very pregnant very early into their first cruise in order to get the mandated shore duty for expectant mothers. In the military, years ago, and in the factory where I work now, the pregnant/childcare solution is, almost always, special treatment for the pregnant/childcarer, and the rest of you will hafta take up the slack.
