diosa, I have helped several friends who are facing challenging work/pump situations-one in the military, and another who is a city bus driver. The book Breastfeeding in Combat Boots offers a ton of advice from an LC who went through the challenges you face while serving in the military. I read the book while I was serving and pregnant, but I was able to get discharged before putting any of Robyn's advice to the test! An excerpt from the book can be found here. The chapter in the link happens to be on planning, which would probably be of use to you right now! There is also an article from the American Academy of Pediatrics (found in the journal of the AAP) that looks at options for breastfeeding mothers returning to work. It may help if you can show your employer that the AAP supports pumping at work. Here is the link. Good luck!
