[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think women already have a very hard time balancing a military career and a family. To pressure them to also go into combat is a stretch. Perhaps there are some women who would voluntarily go, the majority would not due to family commitments. Women in this country do not even have paid maternity leave, so a lot would need to change for the military to be able to be a friendly workplace for women [/quote] Women in the military have paid maternity leave. They have for decades.[/quote] Newborn don’t belong in daycares.[/quote] My SIL is an officer in the Air Force and received 16 weeks of fully paid maternity leave with her last pregnancy. I work for a contractor and received 4 weeks at 60% of my salary, after having exhausted the 2 weeks of PTO i was allowed to save beforehand. And that was considered "generous". She wasn't the one in the situation of having to put a newborn in daycare.[/quote]
