References

I recently transferred schools within my district. My new administration is amazing, and super organized. My old school, the exact opposite. I would like to add my new administrators to my references. Can I remove my old ones since they only hold 4? My old ones are so disorganized, they probably wouldn't return a phone call or email if I were to ha...See More

Anyone know if there is a quick well quicker way to get a visa? Where do I start in this process? Also, once I have my travel orders and I start the visa process is there anything else I need to do before I can PCS?

haha Congrats on the position and location. The downside of the UK is that yes, you do need the visa and I had heard it was a pain and expensive. Sorry no words of wisdom on the subject.

kgteach Hi, the district area where I will be working is a 4 hour drive from my current residence. I got an offer in the Americas Southeast District. My formal offer letter stated that relocation costs will not be funded by DODEA. Richmond Hill is a very nice area. You should also look in the Savannah area as well.

Moving to Fort Knox

by Mary-Lorraine

Oct 21, 2016

I will be moving from Fort Bragg to Fort Knox. I accepted the full-time school psychologist position there. They have not had a school psychologist this school-year, so I need to go as soon as possible. This means my position should be listed soon if any of you are qualified and want to move to NC.

Curious W/Question For DoDDS Employee

by uh89

Sep 29, 2016

Just curious about something. I'm a former DoDDS teacher from about 10 years ago but have kept an active application with them for the past few years as I'd like to get back into DoDDS. One of my references did fill out an online reference two years ago when I added him as he was then my current principal. Then 2 days ago he received an e-mail from...See More

uh89 Thanks Mary-Lorraine. But I notice that those jobs don't grant SOFA status as at least the ones for the Pacific state that they are for spouses or other family members of others who already have SOFA status and are not open to those of us who do not have it. I appreciate your listing of the link just the same.

HelpOthers The SOFA status depends on the position. Yes for substitutes, etc., but Nurse, teacher, administrator, etc., mention the relocation benefit, etc.

Ft Benning

Jul 15, 2016

I have a TO for Ft Benning (Gifted, which is my preference, yay!) I read the previous post about Ft Stewart and how you don't need to take stateside bc of the lack of bene's and can't easily go overseas and unless unemployed/big salary jump don't do it. I fall into the later category so I accepted. Looking for any info on people who've been there. ...See More
