You are four weeks pregnant, you are perfectly capable of working in the white cell. I had several pregnant females on my White Cell at NTC and they were on their feet less at NTC than at their unit. When you need to be on light duty, your provider will write your pregnancy profile to reflect the work load you should be doing. If you were in your third trimester this would be a valid issue. Unless you’re a high risk pregnancy you are not at any risk for a miscarriage by doing white cell work, picking up trash, cleaning bathrooms, monitoring radios, or headcount.

Ooooh. This is a slippery slope. Your pregnancy is going to keep you from the austere environment, but being White Cell will keep you in the rear with the gear...probably on cantonment on Ft Polk main post itself. But, if going to JRTC is considered a Deployment, and your profile excludes you from deployments...based on your MRC....you may want to have your PCP have a conversation with your Command levels.

Personally, if I were your 1SG, I would tell you to enjoy your time away from JRTC and I would gladly take those sabot rounds that would come down from BN. But that's just me.

As a prior commander and pregnant Soldier, this early in the pregnancy, I would go and I would send someone. The regulation specifies at what point in the pregnancy it is not authorized to wear tactical gear, ride in a military vehicle, and do field related training. The exception to the regulation is high risk pregnancy or other complications dictated by the primary care provider. JRTC is not a deployment and there is medical assistance available if required. You have made them aware of your pregnancy and sounds like they are trying to safely accommodate you during the training.
