Pregnant women can now apply for Air Force Officer Training School

Pregnant people can now apply for a spot in the Air Force’s Officer Training School, a change aimed at admitting more women into the officer corps, the service announced Sept. 30.

Previously, the Air Force and Space Force barred pregnant enlisted airmen, guardians and civilians from starting the commissioning process until 12 months postpartum. Waivers were available for those who wanted to submit their application earlier.


Now, people can apply while carrying a child and head to training six months after their pregnancy ends — no waivers needed.
 
The directive aims to create a “force more representative of our nation,” the memo said.
 
“This policy update … unequivocally shatters the glass ceiling that has kept or delayed hundreds of women from competing for a [Department of the Air Force] commission,” said Capt. Frances Castillo, an advocate for revising the guidance. “Highly qualified candidates will no longer need to choose between advancing their careers or growing their family.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Since liberals now claim men can pregnant, does this apply to them also?  Note the gender neutral language used. Pregnant PEOPLE can now apply.  Not women, but PEOPLE.  They blew the wokeness in the 5th paragraph, admitting it is intended for women only. *****rollingeyes*****
