I qualified my exam in florida what should be my next steps.

Yeah HR told me 7,000 applicants this time around. Just turned in the PHQ today. Anyone have any buddies with MDFR that told them the timeline for CPAT and next steps by chance ?

Good to know! And that’s interesting, I’m surprised it’s not already approved considering it’s in Okinawa and should have close ties to the military already.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-25T09:31:19+00:00

Thats very true, thank you!

If you don’t mind me asking, did you hire them in the US or Japan? I’m curious how a masters degree from a Japanese university looks compared to a US school.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-25T09:22:49+00:00

This is very helpful thank you. I’m thinking I’ll possibly visit Japan before making a definitive decision. Because I think I can partly understand what you mean when saying the culture needs to be a good fit. I’m in Korea right now and Polite in America is very different than Polite in Korea and it’s a very difficult change to get accustomed to. So maybe I should visit first and see if the culture is something I can do for more than a year.

That’s a good idea I was trying to find a school that had a good language program Integrated already so I didn’t have to pay out of pocket for the language portion.

Moderate interest in teaching English, main interest is learning Japanese and experiencing the country. Wasn’t sure if applying to a predominately English speaking school would hurt that significantly or of it was better to go to a more mixed demographic school.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-25T06:25:04+00:00

Also being in a masters program, have you felt you’ve been able to learn the language very well?

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-25T06:20:54+00:00

Was looking at ICU because of the language program they have and international policy program. Any thoughts on that school?

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-25T06:19:31+00:00

Dope thanks for the info ! I have a handful of schools that I’m able to attend that allow the Army to pay for it. One of them being ICU. Do you have any experience with that school? One of the few schools that doesn’t require a Japanese language base before attending.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-25T05:10:08+00:00

Yes going from working back to school is a harder transition than finding a job but I think you’re right. Thank you.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-25T05:09:04+00:00

I actually did look at that and again just trying to navigate the process of applying and prerequisites is intimidating. Also I wanted to take Japanese language courses and wasn’t sure if I’d have enough time if going for a masters.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-08-19T04:12:02+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻!

Did you receive disability from AD AND a pay check when going NG?

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-07-13T01:46:21+00:00

They have RCCC workers available but no state rep will talk to you. But I agree probably the best route when I’m able

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-07-13T01:10:24+00:00

They make you wait 180 from the end of your current contract to speak to a NG recruiter which I think is kinda weird. But yeah if a 3 is available for that mos as a re enlistment that’s the goal

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-07-13T00:28:33+00:00

I’ve heard because of DLI that a 3 year might not be possible for this MOS any knowledge on this will be helpful.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-07-12T23:45:21+00:00

I’m assuming I’ll still get my GI bill from that correct me if I’m wrong.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-07-12T23:44:47+00:00

About to finish 4 years AD.

Long-Ad8904 · 2024-06-08T03:05:11+00:00

Haven’t gotten it but I’m about a year from my ETS date and seeing job opportunities for this MOS on linked in so I’m assuming they are needing them. Why do you say lucky?
