And then continue an in "depth check" that could take months...weird. What if something doesn't check out in July and I have already quit my current teaching job! That's no good!

Yes, it's not perfect but the logistics of a full background check make it difficult to come up with better solutions. It all requires a leap of faith in the end.
Keep in mind that with DoDDS, even with a firm offer, orders, contract etc they can still release you without cause until you have passed your two years of provisional service.

Feeling the same about wanting to get it official. Like TeacherMama, I am no criminal and have excellent credit. I can't see an issue, but I wish I had a firm offer for peace of mind. I guess it's better than waiting till June to get a job, though! Knowing now makes me thankful, even if I am not feeling patient.

Anyone have experience flying from Japan? Which airlines do you use? Do you think business class is worth it? I saw some flights where you can lie down, but I am sure the cost is insane.
haha
We have used several different airlines and all of the larger ones (United, Delta, American, etc.) are basically comparable in terms of service, food, reliability (although everyone has their favorites and/or ones they hate). The Japanese airlines are generally better but there are restrictions on using only US carriers when the gov't is paying/rei...See More

Weeks to months. There really is just no predicting it.

First they do the fingerprint check. Mine took about a week, but I am local to headquarters so I did my fingerprints in person. If that comes back clean they give you your firm offer and start paperwork to get orders. Meanwhile they do the more in depth check, which can take quite a while.

Subs are in short supply at most overseas locations. He should be able to work everyday if he subs in more than just a couple of subjects.

I'm the husband of a DODEA teacher in Korea. Once you arrive to your location, your husband can fill out a sub packet. There are two background checks conducted, the federal check takes a while so its typically 2 to 4 months before we start getting calls to sub. Once you are approved, there is no shortage of work.

Being able to search previous posts by key words would be nice. Thanks for all your work in maintaining this site.

Yes!!!!! Keywords would be awesome. I was searching for something a few days ago and it was a long process of finding it. Also the ability to private message a person, with the option to block people of course.

There are often contract positions available at many bases. Also, each branch has their morale and welfare divison that hires for everything from working at the restaurants to Human Resources to IT, etc. Some of my colleagues in Okinawa had spouses who worked as AVID tutors and subs within the schools.
