Glad to see I'm not the only one still in this delima. I too, after pretty much being reassured at the beginning of August, expected to be shipped out before school started. I gave notice to my school. I have exhausted my financial reserves and am surviving off a loan from my parents to pay my mortgage and other bills. I've gotten the same round ar...See More

By the way I had my interview on July 1st, my tentative offer on July 20th, and accepted offer on the 21st. I returned all the required paperwork by August 10th. I kept asking about not receiving my fingerprint card. Turns out that was an oversight. My fingerprints and e-Qip were completed by 8/19 and I'm still waiting.

I'm sorry for your situation. There are no hard and fast rules that I am aware of for references. Generally you would think that a second interview and asking for ANOTHER reference would be a very good sign (providing that the references check out of course). I suppose it's possible that you another candidate(s) were so close in their minds that th...See More

Yes, thanks so much for the support. The coin flip was not in my favor. I agree haha in that a simple email would have been nice at the very least. At this time, I still haven't received one bit of correspondence that I was not selected for the position. Seems very unprofessional and careless on their part.

Usually up to 3 admin days for those types of things is reasonable. In reality admin has the discretion to sign off on more if other moving in tasks come up..

It's not simply inspection fees. When I moved to teach at Camp Zama a number of years ago, I had to leave my almost new Subaru behind here in the states because it would not have passed the Japanese emission standards. Very expensive if not impossible to get this fixed.
uh89
And "haha" is giving good advice. It's probably better to sell it. I made the mistake of putting my Subaru in storage and when I moved back to the states at the end of my contract, I had to spend almost $6000 to get it fixed and running again as letting a car simply sit in storage for a year or more can result in a lot of damage to the engine and a...See More

Ouch for you, Bob R/CA! Let's see. Nathan's point is indisputably valid: the compulsory ads actually do steal directly from our personally paid for, limited GBs bank. Many then acted to defend and adapt to this theft of our GBs by downloading and using free ad blocking software, software which serves us just like the audio-video Mute button does fo...See More

Update for all you... I am now able to be released from my position once a replacement is found.... I am in the same boat as many of you as I am waiting on background check to be completed. I am just glad the school understands and is patiently waiting with me. However do you find yourself getting nervous?????
niknak
Glad to hear things worked out for you. Welcome to the waiting game. I literally got my orders about an hour ago. I think HQ finally got sick of me. As far as being nervous....oh yes indeed! Nervous, anxious, excited, frustrated, you name it I've felt it.

When the packing company comes to pack my house do they pack "everything" in my kitchen like non-perishables, and alcohol that is in my bar? I know that is random but I am not sure what to...See More

I believe if the bottles of alcohol have been opened, they will not ship them. If you have a large amount of alcohol ( like cases), you will have to check with your shipping company and you may not be able to take it all. Things like cleaning supplies, paint, soaps, oils of anything flammable or spillable cannot be shipped. If you have jewelry , ta...See More
haha
In general, they will pack everything you want them to and some things you don't want them too (have heard many stories about the trash being packed and shipped). Some of that is variable depending on the company and sometimes where you are going to. Opened alcohol might not get packed and some opened bottles of oil etc might also be rejected. We b...See More

Seasonal just means we only work during the school year. Half time positions with DoDDS generally qualify for half benefits so I would think that DDESS is the same (but obviously double check if you are interested).
uh89
I received a similar e-mail from DDESS for a part time position in Puerto Rico, even though my application is only with DoDDS. It does say, "If you would like to be considered for this position, please let us know and log back into your application and select part-time under the target job module and make sure you have selected Puerto Rico - Antill...See More
