Hello all. My wife recently received a conditional offer and we're going through the process now, yay! I did however come across the so-called "5 year rule" for DoD employees, and I had never heard that before. Is it really hard to stay at your school past 5 years?
haha Welcome aboard to you and your wife!

As far as I know, DoDEA teachers have never been subject to the 5 year rule. We have the opposite problem in that it is very difficult to NOT stay at your school, should you wish a change of scenery.

IsItFriday? The 5 year rule does not apply to DoDEA teachers.

And while the conditional offer may refer to a one year tour or a two year tour, DoDEA teachers do not have tours or a DEROS, and currently there is no process in place for transferring to another location.

You should plan on staying in that location for ten years.
