So I just got it yesterday via email and when I print it out, the copies look like crap. Is this normal? Like it's a PDF of centuries-old xerox copies?
Yay on full price for my home, but orders would be nice now! I'd love to know when they're going to pack out my home... so happy with the full price offer, though.
Does anybody know if there are any open kindergarten positions? I'm finishing up the credits I need to be certified for early childhood education, hoping it will increase my chance of a job.
IcanreadThanks! I will have preschool certification too (included in the ECE cert). I am also elementary certified, FLES (Spanish), and a reading specialist (elem and middle school). Just adding another cert on to hopefully get some referrals/interviews!
I would say bring enough personal items/belongings to make it feel at least a little like home. Also, get some input from people on the ground in Osan about things like appliances etc in furnished apartments. You may end up having to buy things like TVs, coffee makers etc because they are not supplied or if you are particular about things like that. Ask on the FB if you have already.
wandererBondo, I'm so glad that you got a DoDEA job after your disappointment last year not being able to accept your German job offer. Personally, I found my friendships with colleagues much closer in Asia than in Europe and I would rather be in Asia because I absolutely adored the culture. I would NEVER want to live on base.

Personally, I found my friendships with colleagues much closer in Asia than in Europe and I would rather be in Asia because I absolutely adored the culture. I would NEVER want to live on base. It's hard enough to become competent in the local language and culture working in English and surrounded by Americans all day, but if you live there, too…I think you are doomed. Some considerations regarding shipping: the good thing about traveling light is that you can do a self-move easily if you find greener pastures. Sometimes wonderful housing becomes available at odd times that only people with a light load can jump on. I also think that within-district transfer opportunities are easier to accept. The base "temporary" furniture is utilitarian but meets your needs and you will find tempting local furniture that you will want to adopt. If you have a high school son or daughter who is going to be going to a stateside college in the next few years, they have an adequate weight allowance to ship their stuff back across the Pacific (was it 350 pounds?) but there are size limitations of what they can bring—nothing bigger than a smallish TV, for example. So if they have big things that they will want at college, leave them in your HOR. Also remember that you can have more shipped from your HOR on your RAT years so you can bring things over later if you really miss them. (I don't know how frequent RAT is at Osan) Remember that the move is one way until you transfer or quit. BUT: if you are going to rent your stateside HOR out or if you are going to do major renovations, it's easiest if you empty your house out and ship everything. You could be missing a lot of income leaving your house unoccupied. Good luck and congratulations!
TeachAlso, just FYI, your passport will not be sent to you until you have orders. When I got my orders, I sent Ms. Doran an email and received them via FedEx the following day. Someone over 21 will need to sign for them.

BettSand Art when I got the eQip email, the person who sent that introduced me to the person who would be working on my account. In my case it's because I went to HR office to fingerprint, so I met the person who was working on my file.
I made a referral list for an ISS position in Brussels. I have still not heard back from the point of contact in Japan for the position I interviewed for back in May.
HelpOthersYes, haha, the Superintendent isDr. Steven Bloom and he was on the interview panel during my interview last year. However, the Community Superintendent (Yokosuka and Sasebo Complexes) is Ms. Laverne Outen and she is the one who was on the interview panel this time.
