Female Marines Who Called Out the Corps Commend New Postpartum Policy

Military.com | By Gina Harkins

The Marine Corps is now giving new moms a full year to meet fitness and weight requirements after childbirth, making it among the military's longest postpartum recovery periods.

And female Marines say while the move is long overdue, it will help build faith with women in the Corps.

"This policy change reinforced [Commandant Gen. David Berger's] statement in his planning guidance that 'we should never ask our Marines to choose between being the best parent possible and the best Marine possible' and his priority to manage talent in the Force," Maj. Sharon Sisbarro said on behalf of the Marine Women's Initiative Team, which works to improve female recruitment and retention in the service. "In simpler terms, Marines appreciated being heard by their leaders."

We are constantly told there is no gender difference anymore.  So why do - so called - women have a policy written just for them?  You can't even use gender specific pronouns in the hollow halls of the House of Representatives according to Nazi Pelosi. :shrug:
