Q1. What advice can you give us about moving to DDESS? Is there anything that we should know in order to make the move go more smoothly?
We are having HHG shipped to our HOR and have requested the car go to the VPC closest to the new duty station.
Q2. Any thoughts on us ...See More

HR will probably mess up your leave. As you are an older teacher, you may have built up a substantial amount of leave. There's a good chance that the leave number on your Dodds LES won't be reflected properly properly on your first LES from Ddess, or your second, or your third....

Icanread--I just went through the process so this is how it went. DDESS gave me 100% of the years with DoDDS, except for the year I entered in January and the year I am in now. Neither of those--the first half year and the one I am in now--meets the 150 day measurement mark for "a year" in the eyes of DDESS. They then sent me a form to give to the ...See More

I would humbly like to thank all of you who have provided invaluable feedback to those of us who are attempting to enter the DODEA system or in the process of entering the system. I have been eyeing a position with DODEA for the past 2 years and in my first year of applying as a special education teacher this year I was blessed wit...See More

I did some research today. Here's info about the "FOREIGN TRANSFER ALLOWANCE (FTA) - PREDEPARTURE SUBSISTENCE EXPENSES". The link is... https://www.dodea.edu/Offices/HR/employees/allowances/fta.cfm. You wouldn't be able to submit for it until you have access to DAPS - the allowance processing system website.
haha
Better late than never. Submit it and see what happens.

I have recently submitted my application for DODEA and was wondering if there are any 'next steps' to take. My qualifications have been approved for Grades 1-8, Middle School Mathematics, and Secondary Mathematics. My husband is also applying and is a secondary special education teacher. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi. Not really. If this year follows past practice, you will get an email in February or so to update your application (i.e. review the information and click submit, reupload documents and re-finalize your EAS). You won't have to re-qualify unless you submit new areas for consideration).
Other than that, it's mostly waiting and hoping to g...See More

It depends on the location. Different countries/complexes have different rules about bringing pets into the country. On the other hand, Japan is one of the tightest (I think) and people bring pets over all of the time.

Last year the email to update applications was sent on Feb 9th.

Generally speaking, weeks to months. Around 3-4 weeks seems fairly typical (if there is such a thing) but the time of year, the fact that you are with DoDEA already, etc.make it very difficult to predict. Maybe someone with more more recent/relevant experience will post.

So, the universe answered the question with "next business day." I put in for orders and with a report date of 6 weeks, am now hoping the orders happen ASAP. :)

I believe as you make changes to a particular page/section and hit submit for that section, the changes are saved/visible to HR. Generally it seems that once you have finalized and submitted the overall EAS for the year, the "Finalize Your Application" is not active/clickable, so submitting each section would be the only way to save/update/submit (...See More

Thanks!

Unfortunately, as a current DoDDS teacher, you are not able to choose overseas locations on your application. You can only choose stateside locations. Apparently it used to be possible to update your EAS application to apply for overseas positions but it is no longer an option.
haha
True, I just assumed the OP was talking about stateside, Guam, etc. locations (but might have been wrong).
It doesn't really matter all that much in reality since you can't generally apply for or be considered for other overseas positions while teaching in an overseas location, regardless of what your EAS preferences are. The one rare occa...See More

That's exactly what I did. Now from reading Soda's (love the name) comment I'm adding a letter!!!

Like haha said, make sure the information is included in the application itself. If you are asked to interview, you may be asked to send a resume at that time.
