12 months

"......•Urge the Army, Marines and Air Force to conform with a Navy provision allowing 12 months for new mothers to spend with newborns to take full advantage of the health benefits of breast-feeding......."

That means 12 months non deployable

Better security for tents and bathrooms? Oh, yeah.

IT boils down to them not keeping their cooter clean in a relatively CONTROLLED environment (FOB) where they have no one to blame but themselves for not washing their nasty crotch.
The "self test so they don't have to approach a medic 'OFTEN A MAN' for medication" is fucking laughable.

WE WANT EQUALITY! (Except when it is inconvenient)...BTW, when is my date for RANGER School???
