Pregnant reservists to stay on active duty
Posted : Tuesday Jan 23, 2007 12:47:30 EST
Activated Reserve Marines will no longer be separated from active duty if they become pregnant, according to a Corps-wide message Friday.
Instead, they will fall under the same policy on pregnancy for active-duty Marines that keeps them in their work sections but prohibits them from deploying, according to MarAdmin 27/07.
Although the new policy keeps already activated pregnant reservists on duty, it places restrictions on when a pregnant Reserve Marine can be activated in the first place.
Pregnant reservists cannot be assigned “inactive duty for training,” such as Individual Ready Reserve musters, within 30 days of their expected delivery date. Also, after 28 weeks of pregnancy, they are ineligible for activation orders and exempt from participating in their unit’s annual training drills, according to the message.
