re: #595 Silhouette

One thing that outraged me was hearing that many women sailors would get pregnant on purpose to avoid going on long cruises, or to get sent home from one. It is unfair to be asked to be treated the same on one hand, then demand special exemptions on the other hand.

When I was in the AF we had females get pregnant to avoid middle eastern deployments and a few who got pregnant during deployment to get sent home. That really pissed me off. If I had broken my leg to avoid going to the sandbox I would have gotten jail time. why the double standard?
