How's it work if you're a single mom on base? Are there daycare centers? And I wanna hear about the breastfeeding policy

Oh I haven't seen anything about the breastfeeding policy but I am gonna look for it...

SMA Dailey is calling for a review of the maternity and paternity leave policy for the army. but they haven't put anything into effect yet @caiseclosed2015

they also seriously need to review the breastfeeding policy they just put out, but that's a whole other topic lol

Right I just saw an article about the extra leave that u could take for the first year.... I could have really used that when I was active.... by the way when someone says thank you for your service my husband always says Thank You for your support.... lol it kinda just flows now.

@olliesmom I know it just seems since it's all service etc should be the same but eh Idk...that's plenty you rock either way

different branches different regs @islandftm and I'm never sure what to say to that other than thank you for the thanks lol

@olliesmom well that doesn't seem fair at all. thanks for your service by the way!

the air force, navy and marine corps all get the initial 6 weeks and then another 12 weeks of nonchargable leave to be used within the first year of the kids life @islandftm . not the army though

oh my I only got 6 weeks as well but I was on bedrest....but baby came way early so I didn't get to enjoy like I planned

@islandftm,

I'm in the army lol. we get 42 days by the regulation on leave and passes.

my job has you can work 2 weeks n be off 2 weeks for 4 months then be off a year unpaid if you like
