My experience suggests that as a whole, DoDEA is more like the Army in its management style. Stiff, micromanagey, more worried about titles and protocol, and how we've always done it. Just my two cents...
I would like to apply for the 2022-2023 school year but it only gives me the option to apply for 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022. When do they allow you to submit an application for the upcoming school year? Should I submit as 2021-2022 with my available start date or do I wait for the system to select the 2022-2023 school year?

I believe that in March, the option to apply for 2022/2023 will open up as that is when all applicants are asked to renew their application for the year.
haha
In general, it seems better to get your application submitted and your qualifications (hopefully) determined as soon as possible. Then you are ready to review and finalize for the upcoming year.
My Diplomatic (maroon) Passport application in WASHDC today. Any group information on how the transfer works from US Dept of Agriculture US Forest Service Teacher to DoDEA Teacher Japan?. US OPM says the process is seamless and I will not lose any duty days between the two positions.
IsItFriday?
I think OPM exaggerates.
If you're working for the USDA in Washington DC until 4,00pm on Tuesday, and then you start working for the DEA in Baltimore at 8.00am on Wednesday, then yes, the OPM is correct, and you will not lose any duty days.
But the real world doesn't work like that.

The 2.7% raise does not apply to all Federal employees., and definitely does not apply to DoDEA teachers.
You may confirm this with your supervisor.

@haha, I quite enjoy Ankara. There's not much going on, if I'm being honest, but it still has good restaurants and fun places to hang out. It's close to just about everything, so the strategic location for traveling is ideal. Cheap flights to the UK/Europe, and even cheaper throughout Turkey. It's about a 3 hour drive to Cappadocia, around 3 hours ...See More

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.

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.

Not sure about all of the details. You can resign, or you can request LWOP. There are supposed to be some benefits to going LWOP as far as being rehirable, but I don't really know the logistics of it.
IsItFriday?
LWOP needs Admin approval.
You don't need anyone's permission to quit. (See TikTok for videos on how to quit in style.)
Local hires often take LWOP when their spouse makes a PCS. It's not super useful in these situations. I think of it more as a lottery ticket. It may turn out to be useful in the 12 months if the spouse gets new o...See More

I don't know if it's true, but from what I've been told, there are just three "hardship" schools that are considered for transfer. Ankara, Bahrain, and one more that I'm forgetting (I think a school in Italy). The rotation occurs through these school, and as such, my current school (Ankara EHS) saw 5 or 6 teachers transfer for the start of the curr...See More

Yes, rumors have circulated about the under-the-table transfer round.
The old established transfer program was clear, open and transparent.
It wasn't perfect, but it had agreed-upon rules that were negotiated with the union, and the teachers knew the rules of the game, and teachers could attempt to plan their career based on thos...See More

I received an interview request for Naples. Can anyone tell me about the area or if it is a good post to have? How is housing and crime? Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Icanread
For what it's worth, I was just talking to a coworker today who is a young, single woman and was strongly advised by multiple people to not accept an offer that she received for Naples, due to crime there.
I don't have any personal experience with Italy and only know what I've read online.

Received my first DoDEA job offer from USAJOBS.GOV site. Suspected fraud because the subject line read [Non-DoD Source] Tentative Job Offer for TEACHER (MIXED SECONDARY0, TP-1701-CG, Iwakuni, Japan
The job offer is from US Army,- not from DoDEA EAS. I completed US Army forms for this DoDEA position on a US Army Airbase in Japan..

Thank you all. I searched for US UK sofa agreements and scanned through NATO. I'm not sure if I found the best document, but what I did find did not mention jobs or income for dependents. It does seem surprisingly like an episode of Meet the Beavers. I sort of thought that might be the case for a spouse and I really appreciate the honesty. It's wha...See More

Correction: I meant to say "Leave it to the Beavers", the tv show.

There are no Army schools. The schools are DoDEA schools on Army bases, and DoDEA schools on Air Force bases.
But neither the Army or the Air Force has much influence on the schools, beyond demographics, and local issues.
The schools serve the military obviously, but the schools do not...See More
