Abstract
The 2016 Navy Pregnancy and Parenthood Survey conducted by Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) cited that the primary retention influencer for female naval officers is the “ability to have a family.” This project is a policy proposal that targets the primary reason female naval officers are leaving the military. The researchers assessed the viability of implementing EF/IVF (egg freezing and in vitro fertilization) as a retention tool for competitive female naval officers in the unrestricted line (URL) communities. The researchers proposed an EF/IVF pilot program that was analyzed from the ethical and financial perspectives. The ethical perspective justified why the policy proposal should be implemented on the basis of equality, equity, and need. The financial perspective supported the ethical perspective by estimating an overall average program price to implement the proposed EF/IVF pilot program.
