Something to keep in mind is that you can register with the base Child Development Center to provide child care for military families.
Again, it is possible but by no means is it guaranteed, and there might be a wait list. There are a lot of spouses who do this because it's one of those jobs you can do anywhere.
It seems that my advice, offered for the last 25 years, has finally become a book.
William "Bill" Bennett - Is college worth it?
I doubt it will wake up the drones of folks that think you must go to college to make it / or be successful in life. You can't help the closed minded. Even with a book. 
A bit OT but...
Mr. Bennett is a Harvard law grad who served in multiple Presidential cabinets. Without a Harvard education, I highly doubt he'd be appointed to those positions. Since the 80's, he has made a living from politics (including talk shows), books, and entrepreneur projects.
This man, esteemed and intelligent as he may be, has no credibility when he writes a book that's main thesis is that a college education isn't worth the cost. His Harvard education was worth every penny to him, and it would still be worth it if he had to pay 2013 tuition for it. More importantly, he hasn't applied for a job in the traditional manner in nearly 30 years; to say he is "out of touch" would be an understatement.
Rising tuition costs, lower admission standards, the economic impact of a rising number of 20-somethings with 6-figure debt, degrees that don't offer employability in today's environment, and schools that are more concerned about churning a profit than providing a valuable education are real issues. However, the overwhelming data still suggests that a college education yields professional benefits. If you look at unemployment rates and median incomes, you will find that people with 4 year degrees do far better than those with only a high school education.
People who agree with Mr. Bennett often point to a myriad of 20-somethings working in jobs that supposedly don't require a college education as evidence to support his claim. Well, everyone has to start somewhere, and while Mr. Bennett et al might think those entry-level jobs don't require college educations, their employers might have disagreed (for one example, the military requires its Officer corps to have a 4-year degree, but I can't say my education in biology has been useful in my time in the Navy). By the time people enter their 30s, the income disparity between those who have a 4-year degree and those who don't starts to grow exponentially. By the time people enter their 40s, the median income of a 4-year graduate is 3-4x that of a high school graduate.
If Mr. Bennett really thinks that employers will suddenly hire people with only high school or vocational education tomorrow just because tuition costs are too high, he is living in a fantasy land. Likewise, he is living in a fantasy land if he thinks federal subsidized loans are the only reason for rising tuition; employers have driven the demand for college education just as much. If you didn't need a 4 year degree and 3 years experience to sit in a cubicle, answer the phone and do data entry (aka an administrative assistant), more people would choose employment over college.
You want to end the college bubble? Get employers to actively recruit high school seniors with the $10-15/hour jobs they are paying college graduates with any liberal arts degree. But they won't because single, young people are the least reliable employees. They have nothing to lose if they lose their job, so they show up late, call in sick, or even quit at a much higher rate than older/married people. Amazingly, there is a strong correlation between age, median income level, and unemployment. People also have lost a lot of faith in our public education system, and the type of high school senior that will ditch college to start work is generally not going to be the person who was accepted into a top university.
To bring this somewhat back on topic: being a military spouse brings a lot of disadvantages for employment: you have to move every few years, your references are complete strangers to your future employers, and you will rack up a long list of prior employers. You may also live in an area where demand for your experience and expertise doesn't even exist. All of these are potential dings against you when applying for new jobs, so you don't need to pile on a lack of college education on top of it.
