Yeah, not the Air Force. Also, while a woman can get the military to pay for her breast augmentation surgery, I can't get them to pay for anything to keep me from goin g bald. THERE'S your inequality.

Army does, it was implemented last year (or the year before), but its not 6 weeks, it is 2 weeks non chargeable.

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.
