Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James on Tuesday said that one way or another, the Air Force will triple its paid maternity leave benefit to 18 weeks.
In an online town hall, James promised to follow the lead of the Navy. The Navy originally only offered six weeks of paid maternity leave, as required by the Pentagon. But in August, the Navy began offering an additional 12 weeks of additional maternity leave" a new mother can take within the first year of her child's life.
