Army Orders Soldiers to Wear Fake Breasts and 'Empathy' Bellies
Soldiers don fake belly, breasts to better understand pregnant troops' exercise concerns
By Seth Robson Stars and Stripes Published: February 16, 2012
CAMP ZAMA, Japan – The Army is ordering its hardened combat veterans to wear fake breasts and empathy bellies so they can better understand how pregnant soldiers feel during physical training.
This week, 14 noncommissioned officers at Camp Zama took turns wearing the “pregnancy simulators” as they stretched, twisted and exercised during a three-day class that teaches them to serve as fitness instructors for pregnant soldiers and new mothers.
Army enlisted leaders all over the world are being ordered to take the Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training Exercise Leaders Course, or PPPT, according to U.S. Army Medical Activity Japan health promotion educator Jana York.
Developed by the Army in 2008, the course includes aerobics classes, pool sessions and classroom studies on the physiology of pregnant women.

No more oohrah. Now we have ooh, ooh, ooh said in a high pitched battle cry.
Oh Lord, what is happening to this country???
As a woman I am also offended. If these women are pregnant they should not be out there doing exercises that could harm their child. Why should the men have to pay because they got pregnant!
The world has to be LIAO at us. This is beyond the pale. That moron in the WH needs to go....NOW.
I have tried to respond to this but like others, there are no words to describe such stupidity from military leaders.
Bulletin: The military, in order to reduce costs will replace all weapons training with Lamaze classes.
The motor pool will be replaced with breast feeding stations with soft fluffy pillows.
Bullets will be replaced with Marshmallows.
SSAD (same sex attraction disorder) solders can now wear lace thongs.
I now know how our First Sasquatch (MO) felt when she was ashamed of her country but for completely different reasons.
Thanks Army Air Corps
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Hang on, folks... read the whole article before freaking out. These 14 soldiers are at a school to become fitness -instructors-. This particular class was specifically about how to conduct fitness classes, to be the instructor, for groups of -pregnant- women. In that case, making future instructors understand what their students are dealing with just makes sense.
Why should pregnant women serve in the military in the first place?
Maybe they can fit a set of nuts on Obama so he would know how they feel.
Only thing I can say about his is:
WTF!!!!!!
One more thing, the army is not some form of encounter group, “I want to know, what is the recruit going to say when some bad guy says, hit the deck”...paraphase of Harry Callahan in the Enforcer.
You gotta see this for your not-a-ping-list.
I SO totally agree with you.
WHICH COMMANDER signed the order implementing this piece of bovine feces? The days of my support for a young person to join the military as an honorable profession are GONE, until we find some inspirational senior leadership. This is pure, unmitigated BS.
“...Men need to stand up and say “enough is enough”!!!!!”
CW-II is coming, and this pretty well insures which side our military will be on.

. . . . Meanwhile,
Back at the insane asylum.

That makes great sense then.../s
I have some new training for female soldiers on active duty, keep your legs closed.
We have to send soldiers to school to learn how to become FITNESS INSTRUCTORS? I am SO VERY GLAD I’m R-E-T-I-R-E-D military.

Is that what the Japanese woman said to the Japanese men?
