I've noticed this board seems to not have as much activity as it did a few years ago. Has everyone migrated to another site?

It wasn't entirely anecdotal. When there was a transfer round, you could see the number of positions open for transfers every year and then extrapolate that those transfers would leave that approximate number of holes to be filled by new hires (plus retirements, PCS moves, etc).

This from the gov't website. It should allow you to enter the information about your situation and get an accurate idea of the COLA you will/would receive.

No.
That's the short answer.
Do you have return rights? If so, that will cover your flight and taxi ride, your HHG, and your POV shipment.
But once you step out of that taxi in the US, then they will drop you like a hot potato. No lodging, TQSA, meals, etc.
Start your search for housing immediately. Like now.

It depends where you're headed I imagine. What region are you moving to?

We sold our car before we left for $19,000 and took that with. We used all of it but some of it was reimbursed.

haha, thank you for what you do on these chatboards --- you provide a lot of substantive information that has helped people like me to begin their journey with DoDEA.
I loved my four years in Japan (Iwakuni), and would still be there were it not for pressing family matters that required my attention in the States.

Yes, it's a fairly long process, far longer than what DoDEA teachers have to do for other countries.
But it's doable.
Be methodical, save all paperwork, and never, ever rely on the advice given by HQ.
HQ can point you in the right direction, but they can't deal with the difficult questions. They are not experts, and have...See More

Thank you so much. I received another interview request from South Korea. I am wondering how the pay is there and if you receive COLA etc. I am thinking the USD goes much further.
haha
The pay is the same in S. Korea as in Japan (and most every other overseas location). Post Allowance will vary by location but Korea will generally be a little less than Japan. How far the $ goes varies a fair amount based on the location currency against the $. The last year or so has been excellent in Japan with the dollar being at near records h...See More

But the previous evidence is mostly anecdotal.
Dodea's student population has decreased by many thousands in the last 15 years.
The evidence is rock solid, and available to anyone willing to Google their way through the Dodea website..
The number o...See More
