Ask them if you can live in the Bachelor Officers Quarters (BOQ). They are small fully furnished apartments that are quite nice. When I taught for DoDDS on nearby Camp Zama, I arrived there with 19 years of teaching experience and was given the civilian rank of GS-11 and being single it allowed me to live in the BOQ for free. If you do move into th...See More

I saw your post just now. Did you receive info on the clearance process by now? If not I can give some info on how this is done. What about official passport? Have you got the paperwork/instructions ?

I personally like living in Atsugi, Japan. I like the off base living experience, and my LQA covers all the costs. Just keep in mind that if you decide to live off base, there are certain costly fees that you would have to pay upfront, but you would be reimbursed. You'll love the experience.

If you choose to live on base as a CONUS hire, your only option would be to live in the tower at NAF Atsugi.

Generally, they want to hire teachers with as much experience as possible to get the most bang for the buck. They know they will find someone ready to jump ship. We did have 2 new hires at my DDESS school who were right out of college however, so they don't always pick someone with massive experience.

Thank you for clearing that up. It just seems strange to me...However, if given the chance I would still as you say "jump ship" even with dropping me down to a step 5. The positives still outweigh that minor detail.

Live I meant....auto correct! Sorry!

Sembach itself is pretty small from what I recall but is very close to K-town/Ramstein which is one of the larger military communities in Europe. Living near Sembach would be a German village lifestyle which is nice for many people. We had a similar life in another part of Germany and enjoyed it for a few years. We ended up missing being near a big...See More

Thanks for the update. Just wondering...say that can't find the combination, might they look at someone who has say Counselor and SS and adjust for the missing LA? Does DoDEA allow extended day for teachers? Just in case, I contacted the principals. Again, thanks for the heads up.
Are there any teachers who are also retired military? Have your previous military service been an asset or liability?
haha
I'm not a veteran but from the experiences of my colleagues it seems like having veteran preference generally gives a slight advantage in hiring. Principals are supposed to hire veteran candidates if all candidates are otherwise equal but it seems fairly easy for them to get around this if they really want to (they have to file a form outlining the...See More

I believe that any changes made to your current application would all be visible to HR. You should be fine.

@Insight Thanks for the info. I thought you were still waiting for the clearance. How long it takes to receive the travel orders after the clearance goes through? What did you decide for yourself?

You have to work a minimum of 175 school days to qualify for a full year of employment and get the free RAT ride home. That happened to us transferring from DDESS to DODDS, so we had to wait another year to qualify.
