I have a MA in Education from Liberty. It was fine, but I think you can find some better online options in terms of price and structure.

Thank you for all your responses. I have decided to look elsewhere, the University Of San Diego was suggested.

Do homes in Okinawa generally come furnished or unfurnished?
Do you bank on base or keep your account in the US?
Are spouses and defendants covered by DODEA insurance?
How do you decide what to ship and what you should store?

Again, I suggest joining a Facebook Group or several related to military-affiliated individuals living in Oki. There are usually groups for each military facility that include freebies, swap pages, general information, pet pages, etc.

One item to add about the banks. Make sure you contact all banks and credit cards to ask about Foreign Transaction fees. Because it is is easy to pay with cards, it feels like it is easy to keep your bank. But you don't want to pay like a 5% fee every time your swipe or use an ATM.

It depends (on where you are headed, the time of year, etc.). You would ask whoever is taking care of your travel arrangements (SATO, if they still take care of travel for new hires).
HelpOthers
There are specific locations where this is attempted first to reduce the number of weeks you might be required to keep you and your dependents isolated. Feel free to let SATO know your preference when requesting travel. Also, if you have pets, this tends to be the least expensive route for the overseas portion of your trip, but many are already boo...See More

Completely new to this and haven't found the answer yet. Applied a couple of weeks ago and immediately locked myself out of EAS. I found you guys a few days later. I have sent an email to CHRA and was wondering how long it takes to get a response and/or have your account unlocked.
I will say I was super excited about the posit...See More

Hi!
CHRA has generally been fairly good about getting back to people within a few days. If you haven't heard back then keep writing until you get some action.
When you first apply, your references will receive an emailed reference to be completed as part of the process. In general, you will receive emails about getting referred fo...See More

It's natural to feel stressed and anxious when making a life-changing transition, even at the best of times. This is definitely not the best of times so that just amplifies all of the problems and uncertainty.
It will be worth it in the end (or at least it is for most people). That being said, I'm not going to say that once you arrive and...See More

I am honestly am blessed that we have savings and my current boss said I could start the school year with them and stay until our PCS. With covid I am nervous because my district is going to full open classroom for SPED and I'll be exposed a lot then before traveling. But since we don't know how long this is going to take I am not comfortable being...See More

Agreed.
I'm certain there are employees who have qualified for this allowance. But it never occurred to them to ask.
Usually I agree, or disagree with someone. Or I correct someone's calculations. (Jeez, just get a calculator.)

The rating score of a possible 130 points includes points for
Veterans' Preference, education, specialized degree area, recency of
education, honors, recency of experience and interview score (if
applicable). Candidates are referred in rank order on the referral list

And the other assumption would be that recency of education/experience would be if you've taken courses recently, as it asks about recent coursework in the application. They also want to know what experience you have in the areas you're certed in, and that plays a part too. So I would think that's the experience bit since it asks specifically withi...See More
haha
Regarding interviews, there is also a good chance that that section applies to admin (or above school level positions) that have an interview/essays, as part of the application process. As posted, for teachers it doesn't make much sense that interview scores are added AFTER the fact, when this is supposed to be the system that generates referral li...See More

It depends who you ask. Many people would say places like Cuba, Bahrain, Turkey, etc. are hardship locations. Some people would throw in Korea and maybe some of the more outlying Japan bases, or even Guam (I'm sure I am missing some).
