As we have kept you apprised over the past two years, we are moving towards Department of De-
fense standardized rate fees. This October is the final incremental phase for Fort Drum to reach Army

In addition to Department of the Army forecasted rate fee increases, the following Deployment Sup-
port Service Programs are eliminated 1 October 2012:
X 20% fee reduction for all Child Development Services programs
X Youth Sports fee credit up to $100 per deployment cycle per child/youth.
X SKIES Unlimited Instructional Class fee credit up to $300 per deployment cycle per child/youth.
X $2.00 Hourly Care fee beyond the 16 free respite child care hours.
Those currently deployed as of 1 October 2012 are grandfathered and will continue to receive deploy-
ment support services they are currently receiving.
Should you have any questions on the program impact as it effects your Family, please inquire at the
