Yep. And now you'll be paying child support as well. Good thinking.

Depends on the Branch. some (like the AF and CG) would consider you a single parent even before the child is born, and therefore ineligible to enlist.
If you got married before hand, that may ALSO DQ you, depending on number of dependents you end up with, and whether or not the branch you are considering counts pregnancy as a dependent. Also, you are not supposed to change your status( get married, etc) while in DEP, so that could prompt your recruiter to drop you on general principles.

Yes, depending on what branch. The Air Force will probably screen you out. You will get monetary reimbursement for that child too in regards to child support. It won't be the full value but it will help.

Well, I feel sorry for that kid...your wording choice makes it sound as though creating a life is nothing but an inconvenience for you.
I applaud you wanting to serve, and I don't see it as a problem, unless you have sole custody of some other kids. Doesn't sound like that.
Please take care of the kid, the baby will only have one Daddy, YOU!
You will be fine, "getting someone pregnant" is not a disqualifying event, unless it was your recruiter's wife!

Uncle Sam's gonna send any and every one to boot camp... if you took the oath, and got orders, well, you're probably not getting out of it.
Have you thought about marrying her?
having a wife in the military brings both burden, and benefits.
Being married means you get extra money to care for your family, and if you're stationed in another state, or country, then you get separation pay for being what's called a "geo bachelor".
talk to your recruiter, or your chain of command and they should do everything they can to help.

I do think so. However, there is a limit of two children you must care for if I remember correctly. So if this is your third child you are likely not qualified. Depending on the branch of the service these rules could change.

Yep, and when the baby's born, get your sorry *** down to the Legal Assistance Office to get briefed on your rights and responsibilities.

Nope, if she is only your girlfriend you will DQ yourself because now you are a single parent, by military standards. so either get married, STFU about it, or don't go. Those are your options, plain and simple

Yes.
I think that happens quite a bit.
