Now do the same for the underperforming kids in an underperforming school.

Less than public assistance?

> As for single moms it turns out that divorce is a big problem

At least your divorced military ex-wife has a better chance of actually collecting alimony and child support.

> I'll give you that can be the case, if the MLM and the 30% interest on the new Dodge Charger didn't take all the money.

Think predatory finance and scams doesn't exist off-base?

> It turns out that sending parents out of a child's life for long periods of time can cause lots of behavior issues

More than experiencing housing insecurity, food insecurity, and never having that second parental figure in the first place?

Enlisted military families with 2 dependents usually qualify for public assistance programs. It's less of a problem stateside, because jobs open to military spouses are fairly easy to find. Families stationed overseas often don't have this option, though.
Do you know someone living like this currently? They should be getting allowances if their basic is below the poverty line.

If they've been in long enough to pop out 2 kids I hope to god someone's helping them on their way E4.
