would a male be coddled so?
Having a bad service record would probably be regarded as a “badge of honor” in leftist Oakland.
A good chance she doesn’t know either.
No not for me. I don’t really feel the anger.
Sounds to me that she planned to go, but the bottom fell out at the last minute.
Her problem was taking matters into her own hands and missing movement. That is bad juju.
Had she gone to family services or even TDS, she may have learned other options. You can request a hardship discharge for example. There is more to this than we know, methinks.
The OTH is bad. They pack you up, put you outside the base, and say see-ya. And there is no unemployment or severance. But, most civilian employers don’t care about a DD214, so hopefully, that won’t affect her much.
BTW the Military is currently over manned and has a huge waiting list. If you are in and even sneeze the wrong way, they will put you out. They have nothing to lose. They have plenty of people.
Will she now become an Army of One?
Intentionally getting pregnant sounds like a self-injury to me.
But Top, You don’t understand.
She joined because of all the nice pictures and the promises of going to college, medical coverage and someone neglected -in 2007- to tell her there was a war going on and soldiers fight wars.
And since it was 2007, we can BLAME BUSH....
This madness is really getting ridiculous...can’t wait till the openly gay and females enter the Submarine Community.
That should make for some interesting times...
As a former JAG prosecutor, I agree wholeheartedly.
To put a fine point on it, in today’s politically correct Army, a woman who is engaged in consensual sex with a man can demand that he stop mid-thrust, and if he finishes that one thrust before pulling out, she will be taen seriously if she claims she was raped by virtue of that final half thrust.
I had to give sexual harassment briefings to the entire post twice a year. Much of the breifings were discussion of reducing the risk of being a victim. When I presented the data indicating that the most common factors among sexual assault victims were sexually suggestive behavior, sexually suggestive clothing, and intoxication, one butchy soldier complained that she had a right to act, dress and drink how and when she wanted.
I nodded in agreement as I explained that just as a soldier increases his risk of dying in a fatal accident caused by someone else by exercising his legal right to drive as fast as he wishes on the autobahn in Germany (where we were), so too does a woman increase her risk of being raped by someone else by exercising her legal right to dress and act like a drunken slut (I was a bit more diplomatic). Because the command cares about you, it will never stop presenting information for those who wish to take steps to reduce their risk of being a victim of fatal car accident or a rape.
Intentionally getting pregnant sounds like a self-injury to me.
Yes, I'm sure many women feel that way when they are giving birth. They're saying, "Why did I do this!?" ... LOL...
Nor should married moms, unless their youngest child is age 18 or over. Our nation’s need for military personnel is not that desperate.
“...less than honorable discharge...”
Is that the one that upgrades to “honorable” or similar if they don’t get into any trouble for six months ?
Looks like she couldn’t managed getting the top buttons to quite work right... :-)
Sorry, no sympathy on my part. She created the situation herself.
The Far Left, Feminazi ERA(Equal Rights Amendment) failed around 1982 I think, but so what--the nazis have had their way anyway.
Now this young woman will have a less than honorable to explain, cut off from any benefits, for trying to do the right thing. I hope the sun will shine for her and child, despite this slap in the face. If I had any $$$ I wold try to help her.
Of course her unit would also need the Armored Crib Humvee and ...........
There is so much more to this story...You have to earn one of those...
Can anyone explain why females aren’t required to sign up for Selective Service at the age of 18. All males at age 18 must sign up even though we aren’t currently drafting personale. What’s with this? I thought women were against sexual discrimination. I’m sure that a liberal could explain the metaphysical subleties of this contradiction.
