This is actually for master fitness trainers and the like, and ad hoc fill ins like when I was in and lead company level (20-90 people, we were a HQ so lots of absentees) PT 3-5 days of the week.

Working in the medical field in the army, I can assure you legitimately injured (and pregnant) soldiers are worked back in far too hard, causing increased attrition rates and VA disability costs. GED 'graduates' are generally those who excel at physical activities and then put in charge of the programs, resulting in them running it like a NASCAR driver - open throttle 100% of the time. There is a time and place to physically push people past their limits to test them, and then there is other day-to-day training that something like goes towards.

I don't necessarily agree with this 'walk a mile in her shoes' type stuff, but given you have the right to get pregnant in the military - a healthy reintegration to minimize long term costs is important. I work closely with the athletic trainer/orthopedic side (while still being classically trained to stop massive hemorrhaging) and every study I've combed through (and now beginning to help execute) shows the importance of proper rehabilitation.

Think of it like this - you invest 400k in an asset that gets pregnant. asset is one of the few who actually wants to stay and didn't do it to get out of a deployed zone. Improper reconditioning will cause that investment to be lost, a year of someone filling a slot they properly can't do, then a lifetime worth of expenses as the Army 'buys' the injury. Abdominal tears are no joke when it comes to reconditioning as everything you do goes through it.

I get making fun of it, but for a socialist organization like the military; this type of stuff actually saves the tax payer money on the long term. Every financial impact study backs it up to a ridiculously high degree. Decreasing 2 30% VA disabilities is all it takes to would pay off this kind of program. Given most leave with a disability (yay free money for our "heroes" who never left the states), there is little reason to not invest. Unfortunately it comes out of commander's initial budgets, meaning they see some but not at all of the benefit, leading these programs to only be sparely implemented and generally mostly aimed at Spec Forces/Rangers as they have large enough budgets to maximize those last few percents.

If you want my opinion on the welfare we pay out to broken women soldiers because they suffer much higher incidence of orthopedic injuries in the first place...............

A non-deployable soldier is useless to a commander. They are all de facto injured, or are classified as being 'prone' to injury. After popping that little shit out they are still non-deployable. The difference in getting more of them back in 2-3 months rather than 6-12 months is proper rehabilitation. The 9 month mark is where many would get separated due to limits in place on the amount of time you can be profiled/non-deployable. They retire with a government funded income for the rest of their life unless it somehow gets downgraded. It never does. Of course the VA will give you 10% for an 'itchy' c-section scar anyways.

Big thing is being knocked off your feet for 2+ months then coming back. Pregnancy/Post-partum PT is designed to keep your baseline from dropping too low. You'd be surprised the amount of women who are expected to perform immediately to the same standard and people get shocked when the shin splints start coming in. Well First Sergeant you made someone who hasn't run in 2 months run 6 miles twice a week and now 4 weeks later they're fucked, great job bro. It's a minority that do that, but still enough for it to be significant as remember - you pay for that shit as a taxpayer and they receive no reprimand.
