[quote=Anonymous]My anecdotal experience with the Ft. Myer CDC: My husband was deployed in 2015 and I was simultaneously moving across the country with my two young kids (and pregnant with my third). I had landed a dream job and was trying to secure childcare so I could start work. DoD civilian children had filled up the pre-K rooms (they aged up in the system and generally don't PCS out) and I was told there was literally no shot at getting my kids in there. I literally BEGGED for any private daycare to let my kids essentially "jump the line" and one of them took pity on me. Quite literally, with two year military orders, I could not afford to wait in line. This is an example of a military readiness problem. What if I was single active duty? Or dual active duty? I am so glad this common sense policy is finally going into effect. While it might not benefit me anymore, it is the right thing to do. And as a active duty/civilian family, I fully support the concept that single and dual active duty families would get priority over mine.[/quote]
