CAMP HORNO, CA – A pair of breastfeeding airmen outside the infantry barracks at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton "aren't fooling anyone," according to Gunnery Sergeant Leon Rashaun of 1st Battalion 4th Marines.
The mothers, Senior Airman Rebecca Henderson and Airman First Class Emily Rowe, who are normally stationed at Edwards Air Force Base, have been coming by every day for the past two months, which, according to Gunny Rashaun, "is exactly how long both their husbands have been deployed overseas."
Both women waved at the Gunnery Sergeant, prompting him to give a forced smile through gritted teeth.
Senior Airman Henderson then asked if Alpha Company had come back from their field operation yet.
