And in my experience at least half of them were competing for the same chicks the guys wanted to nail.

Likely true.

It take 2 to do the deed. That’s true.

I don't get it. What happens to the baby? It just stays behind and raises itself? Or is it forced to tag along into a war zone?

Had a co-worker decades ago that had just gotten out of the Navy. He had planned on making it his whole life, but he was on a destroyer that had a large female crew. 90% of them got pregnant while underway and at first port were sent back to desk duty at their base, but retained a higher hazard type pay. It was treated s if it couldn't be their fault they got pregnant, so why should they lose pay? He said that once the single mothers had their kids, there was al kinds of advocates and support for keeping the mother on shore in a job situation with pay. In other words, they were useless to the service but carried anyway.

My co-worker did 3 tours on the ship where many of the women did exactly this. Then he found that women with far less service time were getting advanced beyond him. You know, they had a kid to take care of so needed more money and all. He was so disgusted he finally quit at the next possible time. He did later regret it and found that Hospital ships with women on crew apparently didn't have the same dynamic. But this is a new thing, I only worked with the guy in 1986.......
