On base housing isn't an option, but there are good urbanizations/neighborhoods that are great options for families. The tax rate is higher. We pay PR tax and federal. You can pay PR tax on your credit card with their SURI website. I believe the cost of living is higher in PR but it also depends on what you are comparing it to. There isn't LQA or c...See More

There is indeed a lot of Wisdom here. I would not pray that I got the position over someone else. That would be silly and selfish. I really like the wisdom that: He was preparing me for something else, He is teaching patience and trust, protecting us, and that I should indeed quit confusing my dreams of Europe with serving him. Also, Count My Bless...See More

I interviewed for a job last October and turned down the offer because of my situation at the time. I haven't received any referrals or interview requests since then. I see that my application is still current and listed on line. Anyone know what is going on or is the dod currently not hiring?
Thanks

Make sure that under "file attachments" in EAS, the "SY Considered" says 2020-2021. If not, you will need to reupload ALL of your documents - State teaching license, Transcripts, SF50 (if a current/former fed employee), and any other relevant documents. Once you upload them, the SY considered will update. This may trigger referrals, showing that yo...See More

Even a two-year stint sounds dodgy.
Imagine being the mother of newborn, and mixing your child's baby formula with Naples' tapwater? For two years?
Absolutely horrifying.
I'm not in the least bit comforted by the idea that my lease includes a delivery of bottled water.

I agree with haha. The advantage is that once you have 5 years of experience outside DoDEA, those DoDEA years and your start date with DoDEA help you. Stateside only 5 years of non-DoDEA experience help with the pay scale. 10 years for overseas. So, especially after you have 10 years of experience, you want to start adding DoDEA years to help with ...See More

Teachers in DoDEA-Americas are generally happier with their jobs than the average American teacher (but that fact suffers from selection bias).
Teachers in DoDEA-Americas don't often resign to work for public schools in NY, GA, KY, or anywhere else. That says a lot.
When you work for DoDEA-Americas, you can leave for an overseas p...See More
