Yep!
Prior to deployment, every female sailor has to take a pregnancy test. They can only deploy if they test negative.
On my last carrier cruise, we medevac'ed 38 pregnant sailors off the ship. 38 sailors, all of whom were not pregnant when we got underway.
38 jobs that now have to be filled.
Good God, our entire country is a joke.
In the Navy that my father served in, females might have cost him his ship, along with a lot of other battle damaged ships, not to mention the cost in lives, and the possible loss of battles.
In his ship’s case, the men barely kept it alive and got it home, after about 3 months, and an epic 16,000 mile journey from where she suffered her battle damage.
How about we get rid of these dependent women and their babies and get some real men in there who can and will do the job?
Are we nuts?
So who fathered the babies? Why weren’t sailors(both female and male) court-martialized for that?
Yes. Exactly. A force for true mature masculine males with a system which just promotes moral Virtue. Machiavelli stated it was essential for all militaries to promote Virtue only. Promoting the vice of sodomy and bestiality would be repealed and all lesbians and openly homosexuals would be dismissed immediately. There would be no Price in vice allowed.
Woman could be in military like in WWII capacity only.
If my father could be in charge of the military for 6 months, it would be again-—the greatest force for good in the world. (hint: it would be like putting the great Gen. Patton in charge.)
You shouldn’t join to get pregnant.

I disagree. By tripling maternity leave, that means the US Navy will be paying women not to work for over 4 months after a baby, where some other service member gets to do the work the woman is being paid not to do.
I was a Marine in Iraq and we were co-located with the Army. One of the soldiers got pregnant. When the Army went to bring punishment upon her, she claimed it wasn't fair that only the woman was punished and she was being treated unfairly (unequal application of the UCMJ). That was unless the Army was claiming it was immaculate conception; in which case, it wasn't her fault.
When they asked who the father was, she claimed Article 31 (right to remain silent).
