Change to some AF pregnancy duty

Effective immediately, remotely piloted aircrew, missile operations duty crews and certain fully qualified pilots are authorized to perform their assigned duties with the Air Force during pregnancy without a medical waiver, according to a new AF policy announcement. The change, reflected in the Medical Standards Directory, is one of several policy adjustments made in recent months intended to remove obstacles faced by female Airmen when considering long-term service in the AF. The latest move eliminates a standardized regulation regarding pregnancy and created a policy that’s fully informed by the member’s individual situation and the advice of her professional medical team. Worldwide mobility restrictions applied to all Airmen during pregnancy remain in place.
