Yes, I remember. And if you were female and got pregnant, you were gone. Fast forward a number of years when I was a battalion commander and we were preparing for a brand new cohort company, straight out of One Station Unit Training. The Sergeant Major says: Sir, you are not going to believe this ... there is a forty year old woman with a U-Haul and four kids out front who claims she is married to 18 year old PVT Clueless. She was.

Interesting. I know that Congressman Bob Dornan once tried to get an idea of how much the changes were costing both in terms of money (child care, pregnancy, housing) and readiness (custodial single parents, nondeployable pregnant service members) and there is absolutely no way that any branch of the service will release or probably even tracks this type of information. It all will work well until we end up in a major ground war fighting a disciplined competent enemy.
