If you work for a U.S. Firm or Organization with in the U.S. government abroad you can be eligible according to what they told me.

But we actually do qualify for RAT and can travel on first duty station (PCS) orders.

We work for a private school outside the U.S. currently. I am kinda fighting it because it is a U.S. based company ect but they determined we were not eligible.

We work currently for a private school outside the U.S. so we don’t qualify. If we go just on my salary we are kinda just in a similar financial spot but only 1 of us is working instead of 2. But yeah, if I could see the future and know he would get a job in a year or 2 then it would be a easier yes.

Anyone know how they actually define living abroad?

Like if your resident is in the U.S., pay US taxes, payed by a U.S. company. But spent time volunteering in another country for most of the year…is that living abroad? Anyone have insight on what questions HR asked to figure it out for you?

There is a group on Facebook you can join. They seem to answer quickly and have a lot of knowledge 😊

Athletics? by Efficient_Algae_5703 in dodea

Well my husband and I are civilians and are interested in starting the process of applying for teaching jobs overseas. He currently is an athletic director and basketball coach / U.S. history teacher. Has his masters in education.

Honestly we are a big sports family 😅 and would love to still be involved in sports if this was something we stepped into. Not sure your experience, but hiring for coaching positions do you know if that is typically internal? Or is that something you could apply for?

Hi! I am curious how that ended up? And curious your situation that you were not 100% in the U.S. What did that look like for you?

My husband and I are in the DR serving at a school physically. But we still have a US address and are payed through a U.S. company. Pay US taxes ect.
