Hello! I am considering applying to DODDEA schools overseas. I attended these schools k-8 and absolutely loved it and miss the lifestyle.

Dr. Ali Fant Then I have known teachers who have met their spouse overseas -- either local nationals or other DoDEA teachers or DoD Civilians. Generally, you will find your perfect spouse where you are both busy engaging in your happiest employment.

HelpOthers Agreed, there are many single adults in DoDEA. One thing that seems to be common is the dislike of isolated locations where there are few dating options. Many seem happier when they have opportunities to hang out with other singles. You may want to check out Meetup.com to see if there are any groups in the area that interest you.
