Yes because we need pregnant women flying our fighters. Never heard anything so ridiculous. Pregnant is not fit for combat period. Stay on the ground In a desk job. High stress situations aren’t good for pregnant women freaking dummies.

You dont have to be a crew or pilot to be issued a flight suite. USAF VET here. Medical staff, missile technicians, just to name a few non flying positions. 😲👍

After a certain point pregnant women are prohibited from being passengers on commercial flights.
You're telling me a woman who is so pregnant she can no longer squeeze into her already roomy flight suit can be relied upon to play a critical role as part of a flight team?
Uniforms for pregnant women I would understand, but by the time your pregnant belly no longer fits into your flight suit, it's time for desk duty.

Doctors wear flight suits...are you a fellow airman?

What do doctors in flight suits have to do with anything?
Female doctors who are pregnant reach a point in gestation where they cannot take commercial flights, same as any other woman.
The idea that pregnant women should be encouraged to ignore their physical limitations to make some political point about gender equality is not only nonsensical, it's dangerous.

The point is...you dont have to have a flying role to wear a flight suit.

Once again, did you serve in the USAF? Do you have any first hand knowledge?

Not opinions, facts. Do you have any experience with former AFI 35-10, current AFI 36-2903?

What did I write that was not factually correct?

Well, the sentence that starts with "the idea that" is an opinion. The first sentence was a question. That makes 1/3 of your statement factual.

Are you going to continue to ignore my questions?

"The idea that" is not an opinion; it's a reference to the subject of the discussion.
How sad that you can't or don't want to understand that.
I am not ignoring your questions; I am rejecting the idea outright that your resume automatically makes your the arbiter of truth.
"I was in the military and you weren't" is not a valid argument.
By that logic I am a woman and your aren't, so you can never know what limitations being pregnancy entails, therefore I must be right and you never can be.
How convenient!

So ignoring the question, because you have no knowledge of the AFI, which is the point OF the MEME....

" US military is focusing on “maternity flight suits” for pregnant women."

Not all flight suits are worn by people that fly. PERIOD. Now, get bent.

I was being facetious, but still don’t see this as a priority for the military or making it more mission ready. Lots of non pilots fly as crew. Should they?

Well considering each crew has to be clear by a medical doctor prior to a mission, if the doctor were determine that the troop was fit, I see no issue. I see the point of a midair emergency, but those can occur, in theory, on any flight, regardless of pregnant or not. There are protocols already in place for situations such as those.

At some point a pregnant woman is a liability in a flight emergency depending how far along she is. Should they really be flying? I don’t think so. Reassignment to non flight job is prudent.

Oh I agree. I was only stating the protocols that are in place.

Also remember the examples that I gave you were non flying MOS.

Ya I get what you said. Flight suit doesn’t mean they are flying.
0 ups, 4y
Um, not all flight suits are for pilots or crew, sorry to burst your bubble there...so try again. Perhaps had you had some experience you would already have known that.

Fostering the next generation is a far more important job. We should not risk young women in our military.

There's Octavia, advocating for sending pregnant women into combat.

Your stupidity has hit infinity level... again, Octavia.
2 ups, 4y
Yes, it's currently in the hands of a dementia-addled fraud.
