(This is inclusive of the 6 weeks maternity convalescent leave for the birth parent which runs concurrently.)- Establishes a Basic Needs Allowance to ensure that all servicemembers can meet the basic needs of their families.- Directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments and Superintendents of the military academies, to develop policy that includes the option to preserve parental guardianship rights of cadets and midshipmen.- Authorizes the Secretary to conduct a pilot program providing direct hire authority to hire military spouses stationed at a duty station outside of the United States to a term position within the DOD.To find more about regulations & resources for all branches of the U.S. Military, check out Breastfeeding in Combat Boots.Check out the Parenting in Uniform Facebook pageFollow on Twitter:  @MomInUniformEmail:  ParentingInUniform@gmail.com Editing, voiceover, and music by audiblelemonade.com .

    Today's Marijuana is Not Your High School Pot w/Laura Stack

    Play Episode Play 58 sec Highlight Listen Later Dec 28, 2021 30:43


    Laura Stack of Johnny's Ambassadors, talks to us about the dangers of today's marijuana.  Johnny's Ambassadors mission is to educate parents and teens about the dangers of today's high-THC marijuana on the developing adolescent mind and get them to #StopDabbing.  Bottom line: marijuana is not the safe or natural drug we're used to hearing it is from our high school days.  It now contains dangerously high levels of THC.  Research shows today's high-potency marijuana causes mental health issues and higher incidence of suicide when used recreationally and illegally under 21 years of age. What is dabbing? Dabs are marijuana extracts (shatter, wax, budder are some examples) made by pouring a solvent such as butane, ethanol, propane, or carbon dioxide over marijuana, which allows THC to leave the plant material and dissolve into the solvent. This concentrated THC solution is then filtered and placed in a tray. The result of the extraction is sticky oil that typically appears bronze in color. It's not a plant and is highly potent, containing up to 99% THC. Dabs are typically heated on a hot surface and the vapors are inhaled through a dab rig or dab pen.Teen Webinars and other Educational Materials.Laura's son Johnny, told her three days before he died by suicide:  "I want you to know you were right. You told me marijuana would hurt my brain. It's ruined my mind and my life, and I'm sorry.

    How to Use the Open Door Policy with CSM Natasha Santiago

    Play Episode Play 46 sec Highlight Listen Later Jul 13, 2021 32:42


    Command Sergeant Major Natasha Santiago walks us through how and when to use the open door policy.  By regulation, every unit commander has an open door policy to allow subordinates an opportunity to speak directly with their commander.  This is ideal when a military service member is not able to resolve an issue with the assistance of their immediate supervisors. But we're often discouraged by our supervisors to go to our commanders directly. CSM Santiago helps us determine when it is appropriate to do so, and empowers us with the information we need to speak up when necessary.

    Secondary Caregivers (i.e. New Dads) to Receive 6-Weeks Leave with Lt Col Jessica Ruttenber

    Play Episode Play 44 sec Highlight Listen Later Jun 17, 2021 18:51


    Lt Col Jessica Ruttenber discusses parental equality and the need for the military to catch up with the private sector when it comes to allowing parents, both parents, more time at home to bond  after birth, adoption, or foster placement. Under current military regulations, women after birth are allowed up to six weeks of maternity convalescent leave, and a household's primary caregiver can receive an additional six weeks of leave. Secondary caregivers in the Army and Air Force can take three weeks of uncharged parental leave, while Navy and Marine Corps members are eligible for only two weeks. Under the new proposal with Congress, primary caregivers (which are designated by the family, not the service) would be granted 12 weeks of uncharged leave in addition to any available convalescent care to be used within a year of the child's arrival.  AND secondary caregivers would also get six weeks.  Parents would be able to use the time off in multiple increments if they do not want to take all of the time at once.Learn more at Lt Col Ruttenber's site, Hidden Barriers, where she has several blog posts  including:  One leave to rule them all: how the military can create parental equalityCheck out the Parenting in Uniform Facebook pageFollow on Twitter:  @MomInUniformEmail:  ParentingInUniform@gmail.com Editing, voiceover, and music by audiblelemonade.com .
