active duty spouses in the Air Force.  So what is the problem?  A brand
new pump is used as the carrot to get the moms to sign up for parenting
programs.  What is wrong with this?  This applies to all women, not just
those who will be separated from their babies due to medical reasons or
employment. "

I don't know anything about this society, but if it is funded by government
dollars, theis seems awfully wasteful, especially with the present
reduction in force that is going on within the Dept. of Defense. This
should be reported to whomever is in charge of this society. Their dollars
could be better spent, in my opinion.
