[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do families make it work if both parents are in the military?[/quote] From what I've seen - 25 years air force spouse- this is very difficult. Most dual mil couples don't have 5 kids. Two, maybe three. They get childcare priority from the installation facilities and often there are services for overnights and stuff like that (though this part never works as well as it should.) It's pretty difficult though. [/quote] Agree, most of my dual mil friends have 2 or 3 kids. Although, one of my mentors was a super-high speed BTZ Col with a JAG husband and five kids. They do what other dual working families do- paid childcare options/nannies/au pairs and extended family support. [/quote]
