Looks ok to me.
Gun control is like stopping drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to drive.

AOC would not know what to do with a changing table or a college education.

So they are making a mothers room in the tank. Are they making a father room as well?

Yes. That would be a new, small man-cave nook aft of the turret that has a reclining seat with cupholders, a mini-fridge, satellite TV & internet, and a little desk with a drawer full of gun cleaning/smithing supplies.

Hah you jest, but I do not... the company I work for recently moved me to another floor and changed my old office into and I quote here "Birthing Parent Lactation Room"

That is what the sign says.

As a former tanker ( 19E ), I take issue with this. It is a waste of money and just another item to constantly maintain on your track. In case you are not aware, there are always many things on a track that are always loose or falling off. I suggest using the deck over the engine. It is spacious and nice and warm for baby. There is a storage rack on the back of the turret where mom can hang her diaper bag, of course it should be a camo design. Also, white diapers probably not a good idea, If mom is too busy engaging a target, then the loader should be a back up and will need training and qualification to change and feed a baby ( might need a different MOS for that, have to think about that one). I’m sure there are other issues, but I’m old and tired of this now, so that’s all. ;-)

If the loader is going to be backup for both feeding and changing won't they need training and reclassification as loader-unloader?
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

Yeah, you'd have to be careful under stress. When loading shells into the gun, you might grab the baby by mistake.....
