on pregnancy, because if you look at the same data sets for men, men are less likely to be deployable because of administrative reasons for Article 15.
So I'm not talking about numbers.
So even if you increase the number of women and we all got pregnant,
Men would still be less qualified to deploy because they're more likely to get hurt in a major injury by doing something.
Motorcycle accident.
It wasn't related to their job.
And they're more likely to be sitting there in the system for 12 months waiting for an Article 15 to process.
So it's funny.
We focus in on that piece.
We're like, oh, well, pregnancy is going to destroy our ability to do combat.
No, I think there's a lot of other factors and that you can't just pick
But one thing that's a pet peeve for me is that I flew all three of my children pregnant.
And the policies there were still based on like a 1960s chicken egg study.
And I found that we could open the aperture and most of us wanted to lean in.
We were hungry to fly.
We wanted those hours because we found out that it's almost, or in most cases, just as safe to fly an aircraft
stateside in peacetime than it is, you know, just as safe than driving that same car to go to that mission to fly.
Sometimes it's more dangerous statistically when we looked at it.
And not everybody is, you know, in Top Gun going to Iran, dropping bombs.
That's 1% of our mission of the time.
