Child care for active duty military hit by federal hiring freeze

KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany — Families seeking on-base child care in the Kaiserslautern area — home to the largest U.S. military community overseas — soon may feel the pinch of the federal civilian hiring freeze.

Army and Air Force officials said this week they’ve had to make some adjustments to their child care programs because of the hiring freeze.

Officials with U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pflaz said in a statement Tuesday that effective immediately, the garrison’s Child and Youth Services programs had stopped offering hourly care, though existing reservations would still be honored.

The garrison has also put an immediate freeze on child care wait lists and will not fill vacant spaces, the garrison’s statement said.

When I say troops, I include sailors, marines, airman, and coasties.

pRezident dRumpf and company have their collective head up their . . . .

Last night I saw a widow being humiliated by the CinC. That guy does not realize the buck stops with him. He does not blame anyone in public.

To satisfy a campaign promise, he is throwing a lot of families out with the bathwater.
