[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They have access to fantastic, incredibly cheap child care. How cheap? As low as 160 dollars a month for full time care (sliding scale based on income). Plus drop-in daycare for 5 dollars an hour.[/b] Essentially free healthcare for the whole family, and a housing subsidy. Obviously, all in exchange for a really risky job. [/quote] You need to qualify "access to." I haven't looked at base daycare recently, but there aren't always available openings. As for the drop in daycare, in my case it was rarely available. There was very few spots, and most of them would be booked in advance by "regulars." You could book up to 30 days in advance and some people would do that as soon as the daycare opened. If I needed childcare doctors appointment, all the "drop in" spots had already been reserved for weeks.[/quote]
