Take time out love, we'll cover your back, lol!

If all the fighting forces, male and female took time out to arange a babysitter for their children, there would be no-one on the front line. Lol and you nkow when you sign up that you are part of a fighting machine and will be required to work 24/7 if needed.

The British Army/Navy/Airforce since the early 60's are ALL volunteers, unlike some other country's. They are professionals in all they do and have some of the best equipment available. They are not prticuly well paid, (less than a British policeman, fireman, nurse or teacher) so they dont do it for the money. They do it for their pride, and they can choose to purchase their release from their contract of service should they so desire.

Sorry, it should maybe be that way, that there is always an babysitter at your beckon call, seldom is though...but my neice and her hubby both were into the Marine's and they had just had an little baby girl when both were called into duty for the Gulf War, the Marines chose not to take her, they left her...if he went.... it was enough danger for one family, Yes....she was going to have her mother raise the baby for an while, but to tell you the truth...I think they handled it much more intelligiently by letting the mother stay with her child though. Its very hard to just stop being an woman because you have an career job. If you'll remember the bible says the women have the children and the men support them though thier work...over here the men don't necessarily feel that way these days. They had to make  it an law that men help support their children. Our Director of nurses had her infant with her everyday in her office until she was about 3 months old...for one thing she nursed her daily...then she found the care-taker close by where she could go to her house at lunchtime everday an nurse her baby...and made up breast milk bottles for in-between. We understood as nurses..that this was an repsonsibilty on her as an woman. Manytop notch companies supply daycare for their employees )both men and women) either close by or in the facilty itself, and they are allowed to take the expenses incurred as an employee tax deduction expense. Time to get out of the dark ages in this matter if people are going to be made to support themselves and their family and are single parents.
