I am very excited to have been offered a job! But now I am filling out a whole bunch of paperwork. I am not sure what location to list on the Transportation Agreement. I currently live in Germany and my job offer is for the Pacific. I moved here in September to teach with a two year contract, which I am breaking to accept a position with the DOD. I have been told by a DODEA employee, and have read on chat boards that I should try as much as possible to use my contact information back home. I have my EAS, driver's licence, bills, taxes, mail, voter registration, bank accounts, inheritance/investments all listing my mother's address. That, and as I have been in Germany for less than a year, I am trying to receive benefits such as LQA, RAT, etc. Of course for the back ground investigation I listed my physical address for these past months of being in Germany.

The Transportation Agreement form is asking for your Home of Residence so enter your address in the States. Your HOR in the States *is* your "Actual Residence at time of Appointment".

Your HOR in the States *is* your "Actual Residence at time of Appointment". Then, be sure you travel on your own dime back to your HOR. Bring your orders when you go see the TMO nearest your HOR to arrange the gov't-paid shipping and to also arrange the gov't-paid official travel for self and dependents to your new DoDDS job. Both shipping and gov't paid personal transportation will start from your HOR.

The background eqip/forms are *not* the Transporation Agreement and serve different purposes than the TA. Enter all the requested addresses and when you lived at each and etc, *including* the temporary address for the temporary time spent being a temporary contract teacher in GE.

Check your Junk/Spam folder often as your orders may end up there when they are emailed to you.
