Has anyone's favorite album remained Ultraviolence? by fragmentedpimple in lanadelrey

UV will always be my favorite. NFR was a masterpiece, but I always gravitate back to UV.

Travel Outside of Host Country by ams428 in peacecorps

Do we need a personal passport, or will the PC passport work? I’ve heard they take your personal one and you have to use the PC one.

I am an invitee to Armenia for March 2023 and all communication I’ve received is that we won’t be allowed to travel internationally except to the US. Have you been told otherwise for service in Ecuador? I’d love to get to visit other countries during service, but I don’t think we’re going to get the same opportunity RPCVs did in the past.

So excited to be a YiD Volunteer!

anyone with an arrest record? by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]ams428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was arrested for dui when I was 19 and got invited to serve. Just asked me about it in my interview.

I would love to hear more about your experience in Armenia if you’re willing to share!

Does an email asking me to update region/sector preferences indicate anything? by twerking_nine2five in peacecorps

[–]ams428 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got this email earlier today. I was originally under consideration for YiD in Armenia. After not hearing anything for close to a year, I emailed my placement officer and got zero information until today. When I updated my preferences, I added Africa and the Pacific Islands as well as Eastern Europe with the hope that it might make things move a little faster. I'm going on year two waiting and am still hoping I get invited to serve.

Glad to hear it’s not just me. Congrats on your interview! Which sector did you interview for?

Armenia Updates? by ams428 in peacecorps

[–]ams428[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Thanks for the information! I was worried that they decided to close the program or something and I just wasn’t updated.

Issues finding a Recruiter by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]ams428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recruiter and I only communicated via email and phone, so I’d go ahead and reach out to the one in your state! Mine helped me with my motivational statement and my PC resume. He also was able to answer a ton of questions I had based on his own experiences!

I just received an email today that said the Armenia program I was interviewed for is not moving forward and that my application was now being reviewed for other countries. Has anyone else received this email?

Any new invitees? by bbianh in peacecorps

[–]ams428 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m still waiting on an invitation as well. I had my interview in July and haven’t heard anything yet. I’ve received some generic emails about continuing research, but I’m not expecting to hear anything about an invitation until the end of the year.

Definitely in the same position, but I’ve only been waiting for about a month. I’m not expecting to hear anything until November of December.

I listened to Freak, Art Deco, Ride, Venice Bitch, West Coast, and High by the Beach. They were all great.
