1. If you are a stateside DoDEA teacher, are you eligible for the transfer round each year...including overseas locations?
2. If stateside DoDEA, are children of employed teachers eligible to attend the base school?
3. Those of you who have worked in stateside schools, would you agree that the...See More

So just to clarify, a person teaching stateside cannot transfer to other locations? Sorry-I am trying to understand/ We would be stateside right now, but would love to go overseas one day.

Okay....I just read through some of the threads...I understand #1 a bit better.

What are your qualifications in? It is helpful because there are a few people who have some knowledge of the needs various areas have.

DoDEA America's does not pay relocation costs, so often you are only competing with people who live in the area. They often do pay a much higher salary than the surrounding school districts, so you often are competing with people who are from the local area.

Oh I should clarify...it's at Sembach Elementary, which is a Pre-K-3rd grade school.

That sounds like a great combination.

There are many houses with incredible views. You may also choose to live on base (for 5 years max). Depending on which school you work in will determine which cho (area) you will live in. The rooms are generally smaller than us. Stairs are narrow. Yards are small. Of course there are exceptions to everything. Look at homes.mil and choose Sasebo. It...See More

DoDEA educators are not under the 5 year limit.
haha
As ML said, we have always been exempted from the 5 year rule (so far). Some bases are enforcing a 5 year limit to living on base but that is totally different.

(1) I put an interview meeting spot close to me. Would it be better to set the preference for "phone interview?"
(2) If I am allowed to live on base overseas, will I get some form of living compensation since I will not be receiving LQA? ...See More

Virtually all interviews are by phone. In fact I'm not really sure how an in person interview would work. Odds are that you would be interviewing with someone other than the prospective principal which can't be a good idea for you (unless somehow that principal were in the states at a city near you).

Happy Teacher
To clarify - whether you receive LQA off base or if you are allowed to live ON base at an overseas location, you're given "one free rent" as my husband calls it. You don't receive compensation above the exact cost.

I need to open these documents, but it feels a little too early in the morning that!
Hope the rest of yours come sooner. The wait felt a lot longer than 6 weeks.

Haha, if you pack out date was 8/10, when were you supposed to arrive in Japan? I am trying to figure out if I am supposed to arrive in Japan around 8/2, they should pack my stuff on ____.
haha
We left the day after the pack out (maybe two days after). In general you are usually better off getting your pack out as early as you can so that your stuff gets to your new posting sooner. So, in reality, it can be anytime within a few days of your departure date (leaving yourself a margin of error in case it takes longer than they have estimated...See More

Do we schedule the flights? Who pays for them? Do we fly commercial or is there some sort of military flight?
haha
Generally you would go through the travel office once you have your orders. You should get "next steps" information when you get your orders. They usually book everything based on the dates you want to fly, where you are coming from etc. The gov't usually pays.

Also, SandArt, Really Good Stuff and other online school supply places do ship to FPO/APO addresses and they don't take too long. I got lucky when we went to Okinawa, because all of our household goods arrived the same day I started work (2 days before the start of school). This time will be interesting, since I don't even have orders yet (we packe...See More

I just sent my future principal a question about sponsors. HR told me to feel free to contact them. I will let you know.
