Deborah Nash never dreamed when she pulled her son from an army child development Center that it would Lead to his one Way plane ticket Back to the United states. The computer operator with the military trans management come in Bremerhaven Germany was working Swine shift at the time. The Odd hours forced her to Transfer 2-year-old Dwight to a baby Sitter each Day when the Center closed at 6 . Eventually she found it was easier to have the baby Sitter care for him All Day and withdrew him from the Center. Sometime after that she started a Day schedule and tried to re enrol him at the Center Only to find the army in Europe changed its waiting list policy. Nash a single Parent no longer shared the highest priority on the waiting list with dual military couples. The policy that went into effect june 1 gives All Active duty service members equal priority on the lists. Defense department civilian workers awaiting child care go on the next list followed by a list of other people eligible to use the facilities. It Wasny to possible for Dwight to stay on with the baby Sitter so by september he was winging his Way to grandmas House in Salisbury my. In that three months time Nash had moved from 49th to 47th on the waiting list. A a they re pulling the Rug out from under us single parents a Nash said. A Why should i As a sole Parent be allowed to get any special privileges Over another Mother or father trying to get into a Day care Center because i done to have an option to say a i want to stay  a a in Maryland Dwight goes to a private Day care Center that costs $100 a month More than the Bremerhaven facility. A i just want to understand Why they changed it with no warning a Nash said. A this change is just not  for seven weeks . Army Europe officials refused to answer questions about the policy or acknowledge its existence. A May message to commanders obtained recently by the stars and stripes however details the policy. Under the change parents on the waiting lists before june 1 would not a be bumped by new  a the Active duty list will be comi exhausted prior to going to the Dod civilian list and the Dod civilian list will be exhausted prior to using the All others list a the message said. S after a news conference Friday marking the 30th anniversary of natos Central army group Gen. Crosbie e. Saint explained his rationale for the policy change which applies Only to the array command.

In a not divorced or in a not a single Parent. And you put me at the rear of the line Quot said Saint commander of the . Array Europe. A a a would you Tell me Why you Are prejudiced against people who have two spouses and children a a and i said there a not a Good reason a by eliminating priority for single parents and dual military families a i did t discriminate against somebody Quot Saint said.
