Also, is it true that you can only work a maximum of 5 years overseas then have to work at a school on base back in the USA, or can you apply for another country...not sure how this works from what I have heard and read. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I agree with haha. I answered the other questions as replies to your new post where you asked those questions.

There is some type of adjustment to the salary for PR, but don't know the details (at Masters, Step 5, it adds 9K+ to your salary, if I read that right). Salary+ adjustment would seem to be more than just salary overseas but maybe not more than salary + post allowance, depending on location (and definitely not more than salary + PO + LQA). And, PR ...See More

My start date that I can arrive 7 days before or after is Aug 2. I am looking at flying out July 25th. Technically that is 8 days before, but we would arrive in Germany on the 26th, 7 days before. Will that be approved?
I can email and ask them, but with it being a...See More

I understand that Quantico has heavy traffic and is quite expensive, but any other info would be helpful.

Laurel Bay is a beautiful area in Beaufort, SC (near Myrtle Beach). I think it's a smaller location that does not have a high school, but when living in the USA, the off base high schools can offer more programs usually. There are only two schools, so it is small in comparison to other locations.
Quantico is in Northern Virginia, so the c...See More

@Icanread. It is Yokosuka, it seems to be a large base. If the case doesn't have the specialist will we be referred onto the economy? Thanks for any advice.

EFMP would be the final authority on this, but if you were to go to any location in Japan, Yokosuka would have the most services on base and off (Tokyo). I think Luke Hospital is the one most recommended in the Tokyo area and accepts our insurance, so maybe look to see if that hospital can meet your child's needs in case the on base hospital cannot...See More

I think completing it on the JKO website is a new change. However, you can definitely study for it now.

Your sponsor can set up an account for you so you can do the course, practice test, and final test. I think it's no sooner than 30 days prior to licensing. I recommend you don't take the test until 15 days before departure just in case you can't get the license right away.

They don't list openings. Just make sure your EAS is updated.

Follow the "EAS" link in the first paragraph of the page linked below even though it says "Teachers" it is also used to hire school counselors, school nurses, and a few other non-teachers.

@BlueSky just keep in mind that when accepting a position in the USA, they do not pay for relocation. Start downsizing and putting money away to move yourself.

Whoops, pushed enter...First question...If hired from the US, does the DOD pay for your shipping of belongings? Second, Do they pay for your ticket over there or do you pay first and then get reimbursed, or do you have to get an advance to cover all of this then pay it back or is there an allowance for this? Third, Living in Japan or Korea do teach...See More

Hi. Yes, in general, DoDEA will pay for 18K lbs. of belongings to be shipped from your Home of Record to your new location if you are hired from the Continental United States. They arrange and pay for the move but there are now taxes involved. And some kind of tax refund that covers some/most of the tax (relatively recent development so not clear o...See More
