Breastfeeding In Uniform

[lifeon2]

I suppose I see the point in that but really without the facts I find it hard to judge it as inappropriate. Did the C.O. sign off on this as something they thought would be good publicity? We really dont know much. Like I said earlier this could just be photo op and for all we know they have a private room in the nursery under normal circumstances. They could also be facing some kind of disciplinary action as I type this. I prefer to think things through and dont really like to develop a negative stance unless I know all the facts.

Well then, lets deal with facts.

If I walked in uniform with my hands in my pockets I got in trouble.

If I walked outside in uniform with out my cover on I got in trouble.

If I walked around in uniform talking on a cell phone I got in trouble.

If I walked around in a uniform that was not up to uniform specs I got in trouble.

If I wore a uniform in a manner that was not prescribed by the military I got in trouble.



I have no trouble with her breast feeding. I have no trouble with her being in uniform. But under the standards I was taught she is out of uniform in those pictures and should be in trouble.

I think the French maid uniform would be better.

I think the French maid uniform would be better.

Maybe for those two, but that could be a double edged sword, my friend.

Dual wielding...

Once again the military lowering its standards for certain groups of people.

How do we know that they aren't in trouble?

How do we know that they aren't in trouble?

I don't know that I ever saw a women get in trouble. Maybe it happens when nobody is looking?

Ok, I guess this is what I get... I understand that they are technically in violation of uniform policy correct? If you can't even have your hands in your pockets and all that jazz, then having your shirt wide open exposing your chest has to be some kind of no no. If that is the arguement, I get it. But if the arguement is something like, it is wrong to be breast feeding in public, especially in uniform (nothing to do with military dress code) because you think the uniform is some holy garment, and you just find it disguisting or disgraceful to breast feed in uniform, get over it and grow up.

I think most of the outrage from the guys is due to the blatent double standard that we see when it comes to women in the military. These photos are obviously a couple of attention whoring women who are using their uniform to promote their pet project. Guys who do that get seriously disciplined. These women? Bet money nothing happens to them. Women in the military are held to a different uniform standard, pt standard, personal conduct standard and the list goes on. This is just a great shining example of how special they are.
