[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not great for DoD civs but the reality is members of the military should have first priority at CDCs on base.[/quote]

+1. As a full time working military spouse who finally got into a CDC, I am very supportive of this new policy. But I recognize it does suck for the families who will be bumped, especially in this area where day care is scarce and expensive. [/quote]

DoD civilians also work on base and for those overseas there is a lot of panic. We can't PCS without childcare. The answer should be adding spots, not displacing us - DoD actually has the largest subsidized child care program in the country. I'm really tired of being a 2nd class citizen in DoD. My job is to support the military and I work the same hours. [/quote]
But you’re not in the military. There’s big differences and the new policy recognizes that.

Yes in a perfect world, there would be enough spots for every unit there isn’t. [/quote]
[b]And yet we deploy, PCS, and work in war zones[/b]... this will do wonders for retention.

It would be different if this was a policy going forward and we knew to expect it. To not grandfather in existing families in dumb. Maybe we could have spent money on increasing childcare instead of sucking DoD dry for a border wall. [/quote]
So do contractors. Guess they should have the same benefits as you.[/quote]
