I seriously hope any girl who gets her boobs done "just because" on the miltary's dime gets snickered at everywhere she goes. EVERYONE she works with will know what happened, and I doubt she will be taken seriously anymore.

No no no no no. She should have to show them to ANYONE who asks since we all paid for them.

Actually the Air Force now gives 10 days of Paternity Leave for those who choose to have kids. Its only been around for about a year and a half or two years...

Sounds like they're taking the approach of a lot of private sector companies and trying to use it to keep or attract talent.
