maybe they wont schedule big exercise in july and august - when most people civy spouses are on holidays-
maybe they wont schedule a week on the range starting on St Valentines day

maybe they wont schedule a pre deploymeny exercise lasting a week 10 days before your due to go overseas

Don't be silly....They are going to allow soldiers to bring their kids along on all cash escorts
Wives will be permitted to go on prison details so that the soldiers can have some home cooked food and a good bitching session every night.
Recruits will be permitted to have their mothers do all their cleaning duties.


It will be great....you'll see!

What a bunch of bastards. I spent years going overseas, the border, Portlaois and all that jazz and I ahd to get my missus to mind the children. Family unfriendly bastards.

Imagine if the US military provided something like that. Let's see now....150,000 troops in Iraq alone would mean a lot of jobs for nannies.

In the old days there was a childcare programme and a very good one that gave the best of care to every military child. The person who looked after the child was called a batman and the child was called....you guessed it...."Sir"

OK thanks for ur suggestions. But life is getting desperate for me. I could really do with some real help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Please enlighten us with what you have heard about "family friendly policies". If "life is getting desperate" may I suggest that you seek some professional help or lift your phone and talk to a friend.

Its a 5 years since I left the DF but I do remember that there was a civilian social worker based in the E Bde HQ. The guy in the East had an answering machine on his phone and was very quick to answer any messages. The only direct phone number listed for social workers in the DF is the one for the DFTC 045 441450, for the E Bde ring 01-804600 and ask to be put through to the social worker for the W Bde ring 090-6421000 and ask...., for the S Bde ring 021-4514000 and ask.... Once again the social workers are civilians with all the relevant qualifications and they WILL TRAVEL to meet you if necessary. Do ring. If the unit you are in is not covered by the numbers I have given ie NS or AC ring one of the numbers and ask for the who deals with the service you are in.
