It looks like it went to a PPP applicant, subject to the 5 year overseas rule, and forced to transfer back to CONUS....

"tiredofwaiting" is spot on, Aussies love Americans, and every friend I know who has gone there has either ended up in a LTR or marriage to an Aussie. As for me, I thought about going Down Under and have looked into the process, which was pretty much straight forward, especially given I am...

Hello All, and I say this as a working GS-2152, who is past the age for the FAA and is not competing for a slot, so I have nothing to gain or lose by posting this, but seriously, you should watch what you say, post and admit to on this site, as there are FAA HR people that monitor this site, and...

Prior to coming overseas to work DOD for the Marine Corps, where by the way we get the 30% SSR plus the 5% ATC premium, I was working DOD for the USAF, and got the 25% SSR (Tower Only) plus the 5% ATC premium in lieu of Locality Pay. To the best of my knowledge all DOD controller are entitled...

Just a quick check-in to keep this thread active, and to let everyone know that my annual eye checkup in November with my provider went great, and still rocking the 20/20 vision, with no problems. So glad I had it done!

Try making the short drive or quick flight on Southwest to Dallas, and look into my provider Key Whitman Eye Center.

After 3 1/2 years, still rocking the LASIK with 20/20 vision, and no need for cheaters at age 50!

Yep, K-Bay and Iwakuni could almost be twins....same issues with mountainous terrain.

So far no issues with fallout, plans to add more civilians as the CAG gets closer to moving down from Atsugi. Suggest you keep your eyes on USAJOBS....

There are very few radar only facilities in DoD, with the majority of openings tower and GCA, and/or Approach. If you don't get out until 2015, I would suggest, if able, to do whatever it takes to get a CTO before you get out. Keep in mind that without a CTO, contract towers won't give you the...

Traffic at Iwakuni is varied and challenging, as well as steadily increasing in volume and complexity. Due to the airspace configuration and single runway configuration, that has only single direction radar and instrument approaches that require circling procedures when on the opposite runway...

Heard the same thing, DON which includes the MC, has stopped all age waivers. We had a controller who had to wait a year, after being selected, for his waiver to get approved this past May, he was one of the last ones that I know about...

I went AF to USMC as a DoD civilian 4 mos ago after 6 yrs with the Blue Suiters....

Still rocking the LASIK!

If you are a Marine and I know you, I will even rec you to him.

Ref this posting if anyone is seriously interested, and has a strong résumé with solid quals ans CTOs then PM me and I will give you an email to Dyn-Corps employee who if you pass his muster can fast track you. They have a push for 3 or 4 immediately.

Foggy Window, I am in the process of transferring overseas this month, but send me message direct, and I will tell you how to contact me, and see what I can do for you once I get settled in...

It probably would not be advisable to do while in training, but rather after unless you were to do it while you were in the academy..

raven1090, I am leaving, but for the record, I am returning in 3 years, as I have return rights, so anything I do or say is because I still have a vested interest in helping to make this place a great place to work. Are there challenges here, you bet. Is it difficult at times, yes it is, but...

Fly out date is 29 July 2012, Ooh-Rah! Looking forward to getting to Japan, but not the long haul travel with 2 pets. Thank goodness I still have friends over there, and one is going to drive up to Osaka and pick us and the pets up and drive us back!
