You still didn't address the rest of my post. Some of you look at everything as black and white when there are always gray areas.

There you go. The vast majority of military personnel stationed overseas don't have the financial means to send their kids off-base for daycare or school.

If they maintain freeze on defense acquisition it wont be a game i assure you. Unless you find our technological dominance in the defense space amusing.

And what? Sure, it'd be great if people waited to have kids until they were financially ready. Down here in the real world though, that doesn't always happen. The military is usually a stepping stone for young men and women to better themselves and their station in life. Some of them have kids. Providing them daycare while they're serving their country and trying to better themselves, seems like a good thing.

You can make this happen. Get after it if it's important to you.

Cool story. You know what it sounds like? Not my fricking problem.

There are a lot of ideas that seem like a good thing. That doesn't make it reality.

WOW....how little some people know about military families....
Most of the kids in these programs are kids of MALE SOLDIERS who have working moms also because we don't pay Daddy enough protecting our interests abroad to pay the bills...
But again, frick 'em...if the military had needed for them to have a family they would have issued them one....frick soldiers and military families...they are nothing more than welfare recipient parasites on the producers of this nation anyway....

No it seems like another welfare program to me.
I'd like to see a breakdown of everything that soldiers are given while stationed on a base over seas. I'd be interested to know what that + salary is and how it relates to the average income in the private sector in the States....I'm sure it's at least equal and I'd bet that service men and women are ahead of the curve.
ETA For the record I'd be so much more for cutting normal welfare than this....but unfortunately we don't have any people in this country with the balls enough to do that that get elected to public office. So as is the norm, unfortunately, defense spending is pretty much at the top of the cut list.

There are plenty of single fathers in the military that this would affect. There are plenty of dad in the military whose wives work on base, or off base in a civilian role, that this will affect. I know that you harbor a lot of hate toward women in the military, but they aren't the only ones who will suffer from this.
You do know that single parents require a FCP?
If you don't have a FCP that is grounds for release. In fact, it's mandatory to be discharged.
You have to be deployable if assigned to a MTO-E. Being assigned to a TDA may be different.

Is everyone quitting on March 1st?
Sound like an obama tactic when he closed unmanned parks/ sites.
the people who work in CYS on USAEUR bases are mainly military spouses....very few full time stateside hires...some fo course but the bulk of the people who do the work are local hires and when their spouse rotates out they are gone too...and they rotate out on the regular...so when they currently rotate out and there is no way to replace them services must end...it is all too possible that USAG Wiesbaden simply had a couple of CYS employees pcsing out of the area and with no way to back fill the positions they are forced to stop providing the service.
Not only a hardship on young families serving the country but also on incoming families who would otherwise have a second if very small income when the spouse went to work at CYS....
I would bet that this gets changed pretty quickly though....the military is well aware of what it means to a professional soldier to know their family is taken care of....regardless of how badly the current administration understands this the military does...and they will educate the current administration
