I'm currently active duty as a Chief Petty Officer Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive), Mandarin Chinese Linguist in the US Navy. I retire in 2021 and my goal is to teach High School at a DODEA school overseas. I have a Doctorate in Business Administration (International Business), Master's and Bachelor's Degrees in Liberal Studies, and an Associate's Degree in Applied Electronics. I am a certified NJROTC instructor. I hope to teach NJROTC, but I understand that teachers at DODEA schools need to be flexible. I also qualify to teach Electronics Technology as a non-certified vocational instructor. After a year of teaching High School and passing the PRAXIS II, I will also be qualified to teach Business and Computer Science. I do not currently possess a teaching certification, and am working on alternative pathways. I wholeheartedly welcome any advice for a prospective DODEA teacher or NJROTC instructor… As an interesting side note, I love languages. I have achieved qualifying scores on nine Defense Language Proficiency Tests, including Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Swahili, German, Indonesian, Dutch, Portuguese, and French– all self taught except Spanish. My German is fluent from living, studying, and working in Austria.
