I did find this which makes it seem like immunizations are required: https://www.dodea.edu/Offices/Regulations/dodea_forms/upload/form_2942_0_M_F3.pdf

1. Is there base housing? It sounds like we need to get a place on our own. I take it that it would be covered by LQA.
2. Is it worth it to ship a vehicle? I was thinking about an older 4x4 that I do not have to worry about too much.
3. What is the...See More

If LQA is not provided (which it's not since PR is not a foreign location) then you would still be charged rent/utilities for living on base. How much that would be would be a great question for housing and/or someone already there.

Thanks everyone! No need to comment on this again- I have enough information to go forward. :)

Where you live depends on the base/location and the time that you are hired, as policies and practices tend to change over time. In general, it seems that most teachers live off base either by choice or because on base housing is reserved for active duty personnel. Either way, the gov't subsidizes your housing and utilities/costs in the form of LQA...See More

Just as haha said DOD teachers are federal employees who get benefits similar to military families. When we PCS you can be reimbursed for hotel stays, meals, laundry and such while you are traveling to your post. You also receive Temporary Quarters Subsistence Allowance while you search for your own place. Once you find your place you receive Livin...See More

@Haha can you point me in the right direction. I'm heading to Korea and we want to bring our current car but we're abroad and it has GCC specifications and not US specifications. I keep asking if it's allowed but I don't feel like I'm asking the right people who would actually know. Do you know if there are requirements for korea? There wasn't any ...See More

My understanding is that Japan is the only place with significant car import restrictions. I don't believe they would agree to ship it if it wasn't allowed or required modifications.

Was your report date at least a month out? Or less? Did have enough time to arrange movers, etc?
Hopeful
My suggested travel date was 4 days after getting the orders with a report date about 3 weeks away. My official passports were not prepared due to special circumstances so I will be delayed until they are ready. If you already sent everything in for official passports they'll likely try to get you there more quickly.

You can ask for a waiver for things like flu shots etc. I'm not sure about the more basic, required vaccinations.

Seems a bit odd but I'm sure much odder things have been done in the past. Good luck!

No. You need a travel office to reserve the tickets. They generally will pick the day you tell them.
haha
Agreed. As a new hire, the gov't generally arranges (with your input as to specific times/dates) and pays for everything. Later on you would be able to arrange some travel and get reimbursed.

It's up to you. Anywhere from 24 hours to 1 month, although in your case I would guess 2-3 of weeks, but that's just guess.
24 hours: Reserve tickets now. When orders arrive book the tickets and head straight to the airport. Technically that would be less than 24 hours. But new hires usually don't have official passports already, so this i...See More

Call and try to make all the necessary reservations for planes, shipments, pack-outs, hotels etc now.
Usually you need your orders in your hands, but in quieter times, if you are a good talker, many of these offices will "pencil" you into the schdule pending the actual delivery of your orders.
