Oh and it's probably the person who contacted you about her Masters, but there's a presentation on bf in the ADF from ABA's international conference  online https://breastfeedingconference.asn.au/sites/breastfeedingconference.asn.au/files/Papers_Presentations/03_STEWART%20K_Bf%20in%20the%20defence%20force.pdf
Oh and I think that I made it clear that I was not criticising the mothers who work in sometimes extremely difficult circumstances in the US military but the policy and institutional environment that treats them so badly. The mothers have my deepest sympathies!

Among the replies I received was one from a mother who had served in the Australian Defence Force and was in fact working on her Master's.  Her thesis explored breastfeeding in the Australian Defence Force and how the lack of support made breastfeeding, and yes even breastmilk feeding next to impossible, as there were and still are no policies governing pumping, deployments, etc.
