I am a active duty military officer. I have 1 year old son. I was wondering if active duty military gets free child day care on/off post?

That shit is definitely not free. I was a single parent in Okinawa with three kids in the school age care program, and it was about 25-30% of my income for the school year. During the summer the price doubled and I had to pull the two oldest out because I just couldn't afford $3000+ a month for babysitting preteens

No. However theon post care is significantly less and better conforms to your duty day
