this is a picture of an IDF ceremony on Friday at the conclusion of an officer's training course in the Intelligence corps. The graduates of the course include two religious women who are pregnant and have an exemption from wearing the IDF uniform and are now officers in the army.

I understand the exemption. However, if you are integrating women (and you live in a hot climate and are at the top of technology in the region) I can't figure out why a) they can't design a formal uniform for EVERYONE that breathes and looks decent and b) if you are integrating woemn into the army why there aren't suiatable maternity uniforms, dress and regualr including appropriate head coverings? |This isn't exactly rocket science.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo. Thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteVery bad photo, looks ridiculous, but nice item. I guess there would have been a scandal if they would have been placed at the back like when other soldiers have unique issues like wearing running shoes or sandals do to a foot injury. I hope the IDF can design a proper maternity uniform.
