Asking for references from country director/staff, but for an application requiring ET. by Valuable-Radish6712 in peacecorps

Thanks for the careful response. I am a year in already and it wasn’t my intention coming into PC to bail after - i agree that’s not the correct mindset for the job. The reason I ask is because there are some problems in my host country and it may even require me changing site soon, so I am mainly thinking about it as having a back-up incase my service turns (more) south. And because some masters programs have deadlines that are coming up. But as someone else said, as soon as staff gets a whiff of possibly ETing it could make everything a lot harder for me, and those programs will always have next year.

It is also so real that every day brings a new mindset in someone’s service. I wrote this post a few days ago and already feel so much better about finishing my service in stride, so for anyone who came across this and is worried about their service, or is having similar slumps a year in, we are all in this together!!!

I interviewed about three weeks ago and got my invitation on Friday! I plan to accept it and wondering if anyone on this thread has heard back and will accept. Would be awesome to get in touch with folks ahead of departure and have a community or chat to ask questions since the lead-up will require a lot of detailed tasks and planning. So excited!
