NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The Navy says a sailor who never reported being pregnant has given birth to a baby girl aboard an aircraft carrier at sea.
U.S. Naval Forces Central Command spokesman Cmdr. Bill Urban told the Virginian-Pilot ( http://bit.ly/2cRnBmO ) the 7-pound infant was recently born on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Persian Gulf. Both mother and daughter are doing well and were airlifted to a shore-based hospital.

It wasn't clear Monday whether the sailor, who had complained of abdominal pains before giving birth, knew she was pregnant.
*Facepalm*
We can’t get rid of the 0bama regime fast enough.
It wasn’t clear Monday whether the sailor.. knew she was pregnant.....Well..After all...she IS in the Navy. (Ducking).
Is this a first?
Only very obese women could plausibly claim that they didn’t know they were pregnant, and even then it’s a little doubtful. Is the Navy enlisting very obese women?
The Love Boat. Freaking like the Enterprise from TNG with kids running all around the joint.
She’s “adult enough” to be serving on an Air Force carrier, but not to know whether she was pregnant or not? Good grief and palms to face is right!
don’t they have weight limits for the military anymore....don’t they expect their soldiers/sailors to be physically fit, trim?....
What’s an “Air Force carrier” : )
What’s an “Air Force carrier” : )
Isn’t that sweet and heart warming? Now let’s get back to defending the country shall we.
As much as I despise Obama I don’t think we can blame him for this sh** !
It’s things like this that make me glad that I’m an old lady and grew up when men were men and women were women.
I loved it—and what was then called flirting is now called sexual harassment.
.
um, airCRAFT carrier :)
I wouldn’t be surprised if there are two sets of guidelines.
The politically correct shit will stop when the shooting starts in the next war, and some of these ships are sunk. The question is, how many and how quickly?
Until reality hits, expect the politically-correct, social-justice, anti war-fighting BS to continue.
Ah, my Navy. As my first division Chief once told me, very loudly and in front of the division, “MR [DRILL], YOU GIVE A SAILOR A CAST-IRON CANNON BALL LOCKED TO HIS ANKLE AND IN 24 HOURS HE’LL EITHER LOSE IT OR [mess] IT UP!” CPOs are fine judges of character...
The reality is that the big carriers have about 400 women crew members. When they return from long deployments usually at least fifty of the women are pregnant. Political correctness is not compatible with combat efficiency.
Not sure if it’s a first but AP found it newsworthy.
“Air Force carrier”
Naval Carrier
This is the Clinton/Obama navy. Who cares if we win wars, as long as no one is discriminated against. Missile incoming! Nevermind, my wingmans’s water just broke. Cease engagement! Push, push!
