If there truly are closures, all that proves is that Liberals have infiltrated the child care programs within the military. Someone's trying to make a political statement, and didn't even know that they could still hire before blathering on.

Obviously, none of you grew up military brats or served on your own so perhaps you might learn from someone who experienced both. I doubt it but here goes.
Army units rotate, as well as individuals. When it comes to overseas assignments, a unit will rotate in for a specific term, to be followed by another.
A Brigade from Ft Bragg may be deployed to Germany and with it goes their families.
The AAES tends to hire spouses or family member when possible so let's say forty spouses are hired to help with daycare. The vacancies exist because the Brigade previously there went home. So now the base is staffed for child care. You will lose some staff to Attrition. These jobs tend to be low paying and people move up, but there is more supply than demand.
However, after the year-long deployment is up, the unit returns home, as do the forty spouses. Now there is a problem because even though the new unit coming in has forty spouses willing to work, they can't be hired. That's where we are now.
As a kid, we'd move just about every two years when my Father either got transferred or deployed. My Mom would almost always be able to get pt work either on the Post Exchange or with Special Services.
That's the reality of Army life. I was born in Japan. Lived in Washington St, North Carolina, Panama, Kentucky, Germany and NYC by the time I was a teenager. Would have been more but my Father went back to Vietnam instead of Korea in 68.
Bases like Camp Lejeune, Ft Knox, and Germany as a whole have units constantly rotating in and out. That's the cause of the shortages. If you incentives it, perhaps it seems strange.
Now Fritz can make some moronic remark.
