The U.S. Air Force plans to triple maternity leave for female airmen, the service's top civilian has announced. The change would expand the leave from six weeks to 18 weeks and was inspired by a similar move by the Navy, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said on Tuesday during a video town hall filmed at Fort Meade, Maryland. "I believe in what the Navy did, I think it was the right thing to do, and we're going to do the same thing," she said. For more details, see this Military.com article.
