The Navy welcomed its first female aviators in 1974. A mere 47 years later, it’s giving pregnant pilots a flight suit that fits them.
The service quietly issued the first maternity flight suit to Lt. Cmdr. Jacqueline Nordan, a mobilization program manager in the Naval Air Force Reserve, as part of an early distribution program, officials said this week. Several other pregnant members of the command also received the uniform in a test run to determine its usefulness, Navy spokeswoman Amie Blade told Military.com.
How many G’s can a fetus stand ? Did they make a G suit for preggys?
Seems to me these women are more concerned with G spots than G force…
BTW, wouldn’t a leftist prefer they get an abortion?
Umm, waiting for the first lawsuit when a pregnant woman thinks her child was damaged / killed because she wanted to deal with the Gs on takeoff. “Well, they should have told me ‘NO'” as opposed to “you cannot discriminate against me”. Hello, immovable object vs. unstoppable force. Welcome to the “progressive” world. You cannot win.
Please do not get me wrong, I completely endorse anyone willing to submit themselves to the rigor of whatever they decide to do. When that choice endangers another, especially an unborn child, then I will argue against you every time. Your adrenaline thrill does NOT supersede the life of someone else.
The Navy has more than enough fatties that the males just might feel slighted not getting their own special flight suit.
Why are we paying for special equipment in order for pregnant women to be on active duty in the Navy?
Well, let’s see how long before the first baby is born on a fighter jet.
When they get close to delivery, do they get a mid-wife to ride along?
Training a pilot who will get pregnant and need 2 years of leave is akin to training a new pilot who will retire in 2 years.
Being the fiscal hawk I am, I like to know contractor who makes them and how much these maternity bags cost. In addition to that, who in Congress is making the 10%, ya know, for the big guy.
Amusement parks provide warnings to pregnant women advising them that certain rides could jeopardize the pregnancy. So the cup and saucer ride is verboten for pregnant women but piloting a jet with a few G forces is A-ok. Is Dr. Fauci advising the chiefs of staff now?

What about preggy suits for the 101st and 82nd Airborne?
Sounds discriminatory to me.
Oh, and how about the Rangers?
And Delta Force?
And Force Recon?
These people are nuts. Fuckin nuts.

…so they’re going to cushion the inside of the baby’s skull against its forming brain hitting it during rapid acceleration and deceleration? And it will somehow make sure the baby is sitting upright and braced just like Mommy is supposed to do before catapulting off the deck?
Utterly embarrassing.
Kamala Harris is getting an honorary set. Only hers has velcro at the crotch – for easy opening.
Liberal dems have a penchant for extreamism for the sole purpose of keeping ‘non-liberals’ off guard and distracted.
Next on deck, prayer rug installed in jets.

Or udderly embarrassing
China and Russia just watches us and laughs at how pathetic we have become!
Will the female pilots be required to get knock-up before they can fly?
If it doesn’t have a pee-bag option that can be used anywhere, any time, it’s wasted effort.
I don’t remember hardly any women in any capacity in a Navy aircraft squadron in 1974 when I was in the Navy. There were a few women in support positions at NAS Miramar, California at the time but that’s all they were. We used to joke about the few female sailors (WAVES), the joke being join the Navy and ride the WAVES. Boy am I old to have been in the Navy before all this politically correct bs started. The Navy had enough of a problem at the end of the Vietnam War recruiting qualified enlistees due to the Draft letting in a lot of riff raff of all sorts who should’ve never been allowed to be in the Navy in the first place.
