However, Ft. Leavenworth does not have DoD schools.

Fort Knox currently has plenty of housing for civilians. Fort Bragg allows it, but you may be on a wait list for a long time. i don't know about other locations.

The page is set to refresh after a certain number of minutes. It looks like the javascript that was throwing a confirmation alert isn't firing. I'll see if I can track it down, sorry for inconvenience....

Got it - it was the new comment field not alerting the browser, the top form was still working right.

RedClover are you in the San Juan Islands? Just curious because I'm from there and I read that you need to coordinate ferry times (Oh I've been there!).

No, I live along the Inside Passage in Alaska on an island near Juneau. They finally got most of the trip booked, but still working on the bush flight out of my village. They had to get extra authorization because of all the steps to get me there. It all worked out in the end though!

About 6 weeks late for me, but some people have said as soon as one week.

Today I finally received the Eqip information. Fingerprint cards will be here Wednesday. It took 2 weeks and 3 days to get this.

No problem! We truly love Japan. Most people seem to want Europe right away but we actually started there. Liked it for a few years but really missed Japan (we had taught there before with an int'l school and really wanted to get back here). So, I was able to get a transfer to Japan and my spouse got picked up as a local hire right away.

Is your husband's application active too? If he is hired before you arrive there, I believe he also gets CONUS benefits, but if hired after you arrive, is hired as a local hire. Just a thought. congratulations!

No, principals must hire from the lists that are generated by HR. I missed out on some DDESS jobs back in 2010 because my first choice school had only primary positions and I was showing up only on lists for 4th-6th grade. Thankfully another school had a 4th grade opening and I was hired. This year, I applied for overseas positions, and a previous ...See More

It can be frustrating if you have a personal connection that could give you an advantage and can't make use of it. In the past there have been issues with nepotism and not hiring the most qualified people so this is one of the ways they try and eliminate/minimize those kind of problems.

Hi Mary-Lorraine, If I get all my years, it will take 8 more steps to make the salary that I'm making now or would have made overseas. In DoDDS it would take me 10 more steps, which I cannot compare because of the benefits. I have six years teaching experience in the states and the others are overseas. I think your post and Teach's post help a grea...See More

Teach, I that's what I was thinking but read otherwise. My dilemma is not a bad one to have but a dilemma nonetheless. At this point, I'll have to make a decision and be happy with my decision. Thank you so much for the response.

The timeline for those hired to teach stateside can be very different than those hired for overseas. The only thing you will wait on is the background check. You will not get orders or anything. A teacher was hired at my school in March, but her background check and inprocessing took 2 months. She worked for the last two weeks of school. She quit h...See More

I interviewed for a stateside position October this school year. In the interview I said the earliest I could possibly begin was January since I needed to finish off the semester. They were looking for someone to begin as soon as possible. I didn't get an offer, but it also didn't ruin my chances for this school year. This year I interviewed and go...See More
