Airforce Orphans

The following is from paperwork that a friend who joined the air force in the late seventies gave me. She couldn't have babys so she didn't care.

DUE TO THE ENORMOUS EXPENSE OF MAINTAINING AN EFFECIENT RECRUITING SYSTEM AND THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE AND INCONVIENIENCE OF DISCHARGING UNMARRIED WOMEN WHO ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THEIR ENLISTMENTS DUE TO UNAUTHORIZED PREGNANCY, THE FOLLOWING REVISION OF POLICY WILL BE PLACED INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

A. UPON CERTIFICATION BY THE MEDICAL AUTHORITIES THAT A FEMALE MEMBER OF THE AIR FORCE HAS REACHED THE STATE OF MOTHERHOOD, SHE WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE PRENATAL SQUADRON, LACKLAND AFB, TX, FOR DUTY. SUCH DUTY TO BE IN A TDY STATUS AND TO BE TERMINATED UPON THE BIRTH OF CHILD OR CHILDREN.

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO CURTAIL THIS PROGRAM IN THE FUTURE, AS ESTIMATED TURNOVER OF PERSONNEL WILL PROBABLY EXCEED ALL EXPECTATIONS.

Seems to me that the airforce was taking children against the will of the parents and keeping them in the airforce. Anyone know of anyone this happened to?

This is a joke letter that was floating around. I love the last line about not having to have a recruiting program due to so many babies being born. LMAO.

Seriously, this a joke chain letter!! AF has strict rules of conduct that must be followed.

Good for a laugh.

Wow..... I want to type something worthy here but cant, Im blank, i dont believe what I just read but then again I do.

housemouse2 · 01-11-2010, 08:44 PM

didn't ya get the line about babies with civilian father's having a low IQ and therefor become marines? LOL.

Too funny.

MargueriteBee · 01-11-2010, 08:57 PM

I can honestly say that she put it in my hand way back when she joined. I was sad to see her go away. I almost joined also but when the recruiter said that I scored high enough to go into science but since I was female I would do clerical work. That was enough to turn me off. I'm glad I never joined.
I will try and dig out my scanner so I can upload a copy in the next few days.

Was the joke letter being passed around back in the late seventies? It has been in my files that long.
