YES, she can; and you'd be surprised how many females (married and single) get pregnant to get out of deployments, and then eventually get out. It doesn't matter if she's married, or single; she'll most likely be discharged.

The answer to your question is "YES!" I speak from experience. I was AD Army, I became pregnant and got out of the Army on an Honorable discharge. She has to get out before the baby is born though. Just tell her to talk to her Commander or First Sergeant. She does not have to have other medical conditions.

No, she just gets moved to a desk job, gets her 43 days of maternity leave then goes back to old job. LOTS of woman start families in the military. Do you really think they are going to just discharge all the females for this? No way. Only if she has extreme issues after the baby is born or the baby has medical issues....then they will look into the situation and decide what is best for her AND the Army.

Yes.
I am currently Active duty Air Force and pregnant. I have no other medical conditions or unfavorable information files. I decided to separate because I work long hours and I didn't want to be deployed and miss my child growing up.
The Air Force can not deny a mother separation. (I was worried about that until I looked it up in the AFI) If she is Air Force, have her log into VMPF and look up separations for more information. Also she should check out the AFI.
I'm sure other branches of the military have similar programs. If she is interested, have her contact her separations unit.

It depends, in the army, she can get out on a Chapter 8 but she has to decide before the baby is born and she has to be single

The answer to your question is yes. Once she informs her commander she is pregnant, he has 30 days to "council" her. She then has 90 days from that time to decide if she would like a Chaper 8, or stay in. After she informs her commander she wants to seperate, they have 30 days to get her out.....

Since she got pregnant while in the military, The baby is government property, She has to send the baby to a military school, when he turns 18, he goes on active duty in the Army!.

If she can't sign the certificate of guardianship she would have to get out. She has to have a guardian for the child by the 6th week of the baby's birth in case she gets deployed or something happens. But that's in the Navy. Can't speak for other branches and she would have to be single.

Can't speak for the other branches of the service, but a woman who gets pregnant can apply for voluntary separation from the Air Force for pregnancy/parenthood. There is no guarantee that the application will be approved though.

yes, but she must get out before the baby is born. since you are also AD, it's a moot point since she will then be covered under TRICARE.
