But what about those jobs that the guy wants to create?

This makes me sad as every year here in the delta TFA brings a new crop of teachers around and there's usually a few hot ones and they are always easy.
But I'll sacrifice for the greater good

As I understand it, regular day care is not affected.

I never attended day care or kindergarten and I turned out just fine.
Maybe the military should ask for volunteer nannies to remedy their problem.

This particular base where the letter came from is in Germany, so I wonder if outside services are even available.

the F35 program has been a boondoggle and i'll never forgive Obama for cutting the F22 program due to its cost while thie costs of the F35 exploded. plus frick the marines for their insane requests. but at least it's a legitimate advance in technology that keeps our dominance in the air and cannot be found anywhere else
People like DS will come in here and complain about daycare spending cuts but then bitch about a new Aircraft Carrier. It's as if they think they military should be some sort of massive jobs/welfare program. Which if I'm being honest it is for a lot of people.

It looks like, in reality, a way to shrink a lot of existing federal employees.
The only way to make a real change would be to reduce the scope of the military's mission. Something no conservative has ever done.

Blame previous administrations.......wouldn't be necessary if we were not a gazillion dollars in debt. But we have to right this ship and we are ALL going to have to do our part

The hiring freeze isn't on the military. I think this is someone taking advantage of the ignorant.

And these kinds of jobs (daycare and other MWR functions) are typically NAF positions that aren't funded through the regular appropriations process. Not sure how much that influences how they'll be handled.

I don't know your military lingo but I would hope that essential positions like this would be funded.
If not, that needs to be corrected.

Cut all of these dumbass programs, it seems there is a special program for everything on bases these days. I would never send my kids to the on base daycare anyway, buncha overpaid civilians counts.... fire em all, and focus on what matters for the military.

It doesn't have anything to do with funding. Your president ordered a federal hiring freeze. Which includes positions like these on every military base.

Not on active duty military, no. These jobs aren't manned by active duty personnel though. Civilian employees are included though. We are having to push timely waivers ourselves to hire hospital staff to fill positions that are left empty, and hope they get approved.
It's been a short time so it hasn't snowballed much, but hopefully it gets removed shortly

That's not what I'm saying, but if this is your idea of "draining the swamp" then you've got some misplaced priorities.

read paragraph 4. they have the ability to move resources around but chose other programs
like i've said before, this is what bureaucrats do when facing cuts. they cut the stuff that will get the biggest emotional response so people go "awww we can't cut government. think of the children!" it's a calculated move they've perfected for self preservation.
this isn't a new move. you can find examples of this same shite going back to ancient bureaucratic states like ancient China and the Roman Empire. it's a political move that humans have been falling for, for literally thousands of years
