Deployed US Navy Has A Pregnancy Problem
Deployed US Navy Has A Pregnancy Problem, And It’s Getting Worse
Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/01/ex...#ixzz4aD2Whzwj
"A record 16 out of 100 Navy women are reassigned from ships to shore duty due to pregnancy, according to data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.
That number is up 2 percent from 2015, representing hundreds more who have to cut their deployments short, taxing both their unit’s manpower, military budgets and combat readiness. Further, such increases cast a shadow over the lofty gender integration goals set by former President Barack Obama......"
We older folks remember "The Love Boat" from the first Gulf War. Nothing new - but the powers that be don't want to talk about it.

Can they administer mandatory and directly observed measures such as depo-provera for the duration of offshore duty assignments?

boy, oh boy, can't wait to get the army version. ADA/artilery deployment delayed due to widespread pregnancy....SOF deployment rescheduled until after "due date"
Actually had a good chat with a PA CPT who's part of the engagement team in its 2nd run. She wished she could put chastity belt on her soldiers to negate the problem

Who in their right mind couldn't have seen this coming? Evidently not the higher ups.

Who in their right mind, now that's some pretty funny shit there. You were trying to be funny weren't you? The same folks who were not in their right mind put women on submarines and lo and behold somebody filmed them in the showers.
Pat it's gonna take more than saltpeter to solve this issue. It might require someone that is in their "right" mind.

When the Army Values card came out, remember those items, I happened to be at GO level and sitting at a FORSCOM Commanders Conference hosted by FORSCOM.
These guys ain't dumb and this was some years ago but they sat around a big table talking as if a 20 something kid would refer to this card in sexual situations if properly trained.
Honestly, I was incredulous and said so, (the only SF guy there because of JTF6) and my CG couldn't care either....like really, that card is going to stop a young healthy guy from banging a young healthy girl?
Many of the CSM's gave me a shut up look but they knew better....my etiquette sucked. My etiquette because I only worked for a 'baby General' and all of the 3-4 bangers were present.
Offline everyone said, in that scenario, it was BS....but. Hendrix was the Forscom CG...he later told me it was BS but it was SECDEF pushed.
Hendrix was a warrior, I liked him....sometimes you salute and stfu.

Those who would be truly affected by this saw it coming...those who weren't (politicians) could not have cared less. They chose to do what they felt would ensure them another term in office to complete their retirement benefits.
They are in their right minds, they simply don't care about the military and their effectiveness. Tools one and all....

What makes you think that "they" didnt see this coming?
"They" never...
...ever
...ever ever ever
...never ever make a move without considering the "optics"
The "who in their right minds" that you are referring to saw this coming they jsut dont care.
...its not their problem
Social engineering isn't about the end state
...or fairness
...or justice
...equality
It would do everyone well to remember that.

I can't believe the stats are not classified.
This has been known since they started this experiment, and the decision-makers continued with the program anyway. Remember the USS Baberaham Lincoln?
People will do what they are going to do and at the time, the consequences be damned.

Why not a requirement of birth control pills for females that deploy?

When men and women get together in tight spaces (sorry) there are a few outcomes that are likely.

I was on the Ike in the 90s when they assigned 400 females to the ship. Over 40 went home between the work ups and cruise. none were mine...

I can see the real headlines now, "Women Sailors doing Everything the Male Sailors do and More."
