You don't necessarily need a teaching degree for DoDEA but there are specific credit requirements for each certification area, many of which require teaching methods classes.
There is no program that DoDEA offers to get into teaching. Your best bet would probably be to look into one of the alternative teaching programs like Teach Now or Te...See More

haha is correct. No teaching degree , or state certification required. If one is not state certified, and has not at least one year teaching experience you can prove, then you need to have student teaching on your resume, and pass two Praxis exams. These are the min requirements to be eligible to apply for a DoDEA teaching position. On top of this,...See More

Your odds a frankly fairly stacked against you with no experience. Having ELA and SS as a combination is interesting. By themselves they are fairly common but together they could give a principal some flexibility.
Once you are certified, put your application in an see what happens. Then keep updating every year and you never know.

As for your last question, basically you put in your application and wait. Eventually you may get on a referral list and be notified by email. This would mean that a principal has pulled/received a list of qualified candidates and you are on that list. They would then interview a number of people on that list (3 to 5 in many cases). If you are sele...See More

Someone already posted a link to the interview question information that seems most useful for you. Local hire interviews are sometimes more informal. If you are qualified, principals will mainly be looking for someone who is a good fit. They may have questions about situations/students specific to their school.

I'm considering applying but before I do, I have one question.
If I were to get hired overseas, can I pay for my own ticket and come home to the US for the Christmas break during my first year of employment?
haha
Yes, you are free to travel whenever and virtually wherever you want to when you have vacation or approved time off.

So ^^^^ that happened.

300 and above are considered upper level courses. I had to take a few of those, and before I enrolled I asked for pre-approval from my evaluator specialist person.

If you were hired then you would apply through the DoDEA passport liaison for an official passport to travel on when you are on orders.
It would probably be a good idea to renew your personal passport in any case since you would need one for tourist travel and in case there was a problem with your official passport being ready, you could ...See More

Thanks to both of you! Yes, I realize it's highly unlikely I'd get a transfer anytime soon. I'm just happy to be teaching with DoDDS in the first place. However, it's good to know the process and who knows when the opportunity might come up for someone with my specific certs.
haha
Or not. We got one of our top choices the first time we tried (and were far down from A+). It all depends on your certification, where you want to go. where people are wanting to get out of and more than a bit of a luck. As long as you are happy where you are then the transfer round is a nice possibility of change every year. And who knows? They ma...See More

I would imagine coverage/service varies a fair amount by location. We have Softbank and have no complaints about the service, just the price. They are expensive but we were in need of phones when we got here and ended up signing with them.
