The government shutdown has already affected some services on military installations, but the impact varies, according to Military Times’ review of several installation Facebook pages.
For example, family centers at some bases are open, like those at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island , Washington, but classes are canceled. At Fort Riley , Kansas, the Soldier and Family Assistance Center, as well as its general Army Community Services office and outreach/mobilization office, is closed.
Child care varies. At Fort Riley, five child development centers remain open, but the Whitside North CDC for hourly care is closed.
At Kadena Air Base , Japan, its child and youth programs are open. The installation’s government housing office reports there will be potential delays to customer service
