Do single moms make the Air Force less military ready? Rebecca Edmonds was dismissed from the Air Force for failing to report her pregnancy while in training -- and because the Air Force has a policy against single parents enlisting. Edmonds found this all out the hard way. She was just weeks away from graduation at Marquette University and a cadet with the Reserve Officers' Training Corps when she found out she was pregnant. She kept the pregnancy a secret, graduated, and was sworn in as a second lieutenant by her father, Captain Tony Edmonds. But when her pregnancy was revealed she was dismissed from the service for fraud. Apparently the contract she signed stipulated that she report any pregnancy. But for Edmonds this isn't about fraud. This is about the injustice of the Air Force's policy against single parents.Image may be NSFW.
