So they get the permission, what's the problem?Although a Feb. 1 Defense Department memo exempts from the freeze 16 categories of civilian workers, including "positions providing child care to the children of military personnel," Army base commanders are still required to get permission from the service secretary before filling positions, according to a Feb. 16 memo from Diane Randon, acting assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs.
One would think, if this were a real thing, ALL military installations would be shutting down their child care facilities, not just these few.IMCOM officials said they are unaware of any other bases suspending their hourly or part-day programs as a result of the hiring freeze.
Officials with the Navy said although the service requires a similar approval process for hiring exemptions, they are unaware of any CDC programs being shuttered as a result.![]()
