What a contrast to the Nut-rage heiress..
"Chey is the first woman from a chaebol family to serve in the military, drawing public attention for "setting an example of noblesse oblige" for leaders and the elite in the society to follow."

Well, I guess we could quibble over the definition of "very common", but here is an interesting read:
http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2013/01/29/baby-on-board-us-navy-reacts-to-high-rates-unplanned-pregnancies-among-sailors/
Unintended pregnancies are even more common among women in the Navy than they are in the general population
This one, too:
http://www.stripes.com/news/navy-seeks-to-combat-high-rate-of-unplanned-pregnancies-1.203122
NAPLES, Italy — Facing a staggering 74 percent unintended pregnancy rate, the Navy has launched a family planning awareness and information campaign.
BUT, the first article also says:
The data does show that operational pregnancies among enlisted servicewomen make up less than one percent of the Total Force.
So, again, I guess you have to come back to the definition of "very common", but the Navy is concerened.

Reminds me of the story about why 'Esposito' is the commonest surname in the Naples region. Apparently It means 'left outside' and refers to unwanted babies being left outside the local orphanage. |

I doubt it - that would not be setting a very good example of noblesse oblige. |

You mean unlike the other heiress; she's going to be served a different kind of salty nuts? |

They had better be served on a plate, not just handed over in a bag. |

Well, if she doesn't want to get knocked up, something will need to be put in a bag... |
