NEW: Three Military spouses join @ByNatalieGross for a frank discussion about the military lifestyle and why they aren't surprised to see mil spouse satisfaction at a new low in a new DoD survey. (CC: @SeasonedSpouse) https://t.co/Iow8dSajEk

[The Seasoned Spouse @SeasonedSpouse]

The Navy--just one branch--had a child care wait list LARGER than 3,200 kids! And families have to reapply for a spot every time they move. (Every 25 months, on average).
Yes, I'd say that military families have a childcare problem.
