You don't know what kind of impact you've had or will have had over your two years. While I may not have saved the world, or even my village, over the course of my two years, I am quite confident that I had a lasting, serious impact on the lives of a lot of people there- just as they did on me.

But you'll also be thrilled and have an amazing time many, many times throughout your service. It's a rollercoaster ride, sure, but in my experience the ups were higher than the lows were low. Peace Corps isn't an easy experience but I don't think it's fair to dump a lot of negative energy into this topic; it's fair to warn potential PCVs of the difficulties but I think it's a little much to say "Rest assured you WILL be depressed many, many times".

I didn't get the rectal exam on my medical. The doctor didn't wanna do it and i didn't want him to so it was just checked off, I think. But I know a lot of the other PCVs in my group were furious to hear that because they had to suffer a finger up the butt. Never really did determine if it's necessary or not, actually. And the intel thing is cut-and-dry: if you've worked in Intel, you're outta luck. Sorry. They have enough trouble convincing locals that we're not spies to begin with, even with all the distance from the intel community. Peace Corps to intel, however, is a little different- you have to wait a period of 5 years after working for PC before you can take an intel job (at least the CIA and the DIA- I believe it applies to military as well). edit: Huh. Just read the pdf up a few posts. My understanding was that non-CIA intel was off-limits too, from talking to friends in USMC intel. Maybe that's not the case. Interesting.

Either you've got a harsh son of a bitch for a CD, or you've got some dumb PCVs in your country. I can't imagine anyone writing something in their blog that'd get them kicked out. All of them in Cambodia are "rats ate my underwear again" "i hate biking in monsoons" "coconuts are delicious as hell" kind of one-off postings, with the VERY rare "i hate how much the kids cheat here" post you'll get once in a while. But they warned us up and down to watch out what we put on the internet, be careful, like a dozen different times they talked about what we could and could not talk about and gave us printouts of the appropriate sections of the PCV handbook. From talking to other RPCV friends and reading the stories from other posters here I'm beginning to see how very differently every post is run, it's kind of interesting.

HeroOfTheRevolution posted:I'm pretty sure finger up butt tests are to check your prostate (or possibly for nasty hemorrhoids). When you meet with your recruiter for the interview, you can specify to them that you'd prefer not being stationed in any of those areas, or that you'd like to be in the areas listed. It won't help your application, since all it does is limit the number of positions open to you, but I don't think it hurts it otherwise. And if they ignore your requests and just end up placing you elsewhere, you're more than free to tell them you'd prefer not to go there. They'll put your application back in the pile, but I've heard it's pretty difficult to nigh-impossible to get a placement after you've turned one down (unless you had very good, specific reason for doing so). Still, with your familiarity with not only Eastern European and Central Asian culture/language but also teaching out there, I don't know why they wouldn't consider it. It could work out nicely for you, who knows.

Phlairdon posted:As a recent college grad, this has been something I've been interested in participating in lately, especially considering the crap job market, and the desire to uproot myself and do something meaningful with my life. Now in my research in what they look for in possible volunteers, I have not seen anything to suggest that they might be interested in someone with two art degrees. One of my good friends from my group was a dual major in Art and Biology. I guess he was good at drawing leaves and muscles and stuff, I don't know. Anyway, he was a great volunteer and made it in fine. Though he had done Americorps first... but regardless, you don't NEED to have been an English major, or an ESL tutor, or anything like that to qualify. It certainly helps your application, but it's not required.

Look at all the allstars we had in our group. You never had anyone in Group 2 to watch battlestar with in PP, did you? I saw James watched it recently, but I imagine you didn't watch with him, or else he'd have posted a page long note about it and probably uploaded 3 or 4 useless 15 second video clips of it onto facebook. Amazing reply to his latest, by the way. How are the health volunteers working out? Is there a lot of crossover between the TEFL and the health vols, or do they stick to themselves or what? And are you still looking into JET? As for the topic at large, it's amazing how many RPCVs you meet when you get back. I had NO IDEA so many people had done peace corps- it's like being part of some special club or fraternity of some kind that had previously been a mystery to you, some kinda Masonic poo poo. Really cool to have that instant connection to so many interesting people at work and such.

If I'm semi-fluent in Spanish does that make it very likely that I'll end up in a Spanish speaking country? 1) No. We had some fluent spanish speakers in our group sent to Cambodia. In order to go to Latin America, I've been told that you have to be fluent in Spanish. However, being fluent in spanish doesn't mean you have to be sent to Latin America. Our group in Cambodia had Chinese speakers, Spanish speakers, Russian speakers (i think), and French speakers, but they were all sent to a country where they weren't using that language. 2) Sure. You'll be told the project you'll be assigned to when you're given the country assignment, at which point you can just say 'thanks but no thanks' and walk away.

Rush Limbaugh #1! posted:I think our views are actually pretty similar, it's just that the way the thread starts seems to overemphasize bitterness and frustration - which are of course a big part of Peace Corps, but I think the positive things volunteers can do far outweigh those. This was my concern too, and why I tried to hop in so early with a counterpoint. Frustration definitely has its place in any frank discussion about the Peace Corps, and it's always fun to bash on the negative aspects because that's what PCVs do together, but I think it's inappropriate for a thread where potential PCVs are reading to try and find things out about the program. They should definitely be made aware of the possibility for extreme frustration, but it shouldn't be hammered into them from the get-go with little to no discussion of the other, incredibly rewarding aspects of service.

I've been out of school for 3.5 years (just finished my Peace Corps stint 6 months ago) so there was no way I'd be doing it through an institution. Created a huge hassle for me with transcript requests, actually, but I think I've about ironed it out. I didn't have anyone to look over my things with me, but a friend's sister just finished the ETA program in Korea which I'm looking at so I called her up and we chatted about the applications and essays for a bit, got some ideas from that. I'm not really worried, I think I've got a great resume for something like the ETA, but just gotta make sure everything gets in on time- still waiting on 2 of my hard-copy references to come in, which is a real nail-biter this close to the 21st, haha..

Unless I *horribly* misinterpreted everything they told us over 1.5 of the 4 days I was at the RPCV Career Seminar that they had at headquarters (strongly recommended for people who get back and don't really know what they're doing), NCE does indeed factor in for PC hiring. One of the Returned Volunteer Services guys was actually trying to recruit me at the end of the week and I'm pretty sure that was one of his selling points. Lets gently caress Bro posted:1. I have a degree in English Literature. Were I to join the Peace Corps, would I be forced into teaching English somewhere? What is teaching English like when you have very little or no knowledge of the native language? I would have no idea where to begin, and I have some elementary school teaching experience. Honestly I think I'd really rather be doing manual labor somewhere. Just wanted to add to what Moon Slayer said- You can be sent over as an English Teacher but still find ways to do that manual labor on the side. Secondary projects are an absolutely huge part of many volunteers' lives, and they are as varied as you can imagine. I think MS's group in Cambodia built a house with Habitat for Humanity, some guys in my group made gardens at their schools, one guy constructed all the furniture for the library he managed to get built... and that's not even taking into account any additional work you can do to help out in your village. It was absolutely hilarious to my host family when the big goofy white guy wanted to go out and help harvest rice. I wasn't terribly good at it (I think they must've shown me how to tie the sheaves 20 times and I still didn't get it) but they still appreciated it and had a really good time. quote:3. How stringent are their physical requirements? I smoke cigarettes and marijuana (though I don't expect to be able to smoke weed abroad, just wondering if they test for that), and while I am in healthy shape in general I don't think I could do a 5 mile run right now. Echoing "do NOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT mention weed at any point to anyone on the PC staff". You can get sent home if there is even a RUMOR that you're using drugs- they don't need evidence, because a rumor is enough to 'damage the reputation of PC in the host country". I'll also say that the one thing I know holds up lots of people every year in the medical process is being overweight. If you have a BMI above a (surprisingly low) level, they'll send you a bunch of extra forms that you need signed by the doc. I managed to snake in just below the BMI limit, but I know a few people who were encouraged to lose weight before going out there. Other than that, yeah, it's the typical "if you aren't on death's doorstep we'll take you" kind of thing you'd expect.

Yeah, I don't know why that's turning up in Japan searches. Program and Training Officer is an in-country position, it's sort of like a general supervisor for a lot of the work the volunteers are doing at their posts. They work in the main office in the country so that they can deal with the volunteers and all the other program staff in the country office, you can't really run something like that from a position out-of-country like Japan.

Only thing you can do is make sure that medical check gets through ASAP, get all the forms in and everything, and then badger your placement desk. Send them an email letting them know how excited you are to get going and how you're free to go as soon as they need you. Unfortunately, I'd guess you won't have much luck. I don't think they have too many posts in the South Pacific, and they're probably got their staging/PST schedules pretty set in stone. Unless you feel like switching to a different region or different assignment, you'll probably have to wait until September or thereabouts.

Aggro Craig posted:Yeah, with no official authority it's unfortunate how little VAC can directly impact. We do have a few IT volunteers that are helping develop our sharepoint site to make sharing resources much easier, and that's also a project I hope to be working on soon. Our health committee did a ton of work with a classroom art project for world AIDS day, working with other posts from Africa and Central America. VAC wasn't bad in Cambodia. Things may have changed like Moon Slayer said, and maybe they don't meet anymore, but when I was in it, the committee met every three months, and we raised the issues that the majority of PCVs were bitching about. I think the fact that we were the first group in the country and that the post was just starting up and trying to get all of the kinks ironed out meant there was a lot more room for improvement so we were able to help guide it a bit. For example, early on, sometimes Peace Corps personnel would just roll up randomly to our houses to drop in for a quick site visit or to check up on any issues we might have raised in quarterly reports or what have you... made lots of volunteers nervous, partly because it got our host families jittery (because they always thought they should be providing lunch or a snack or whatever for the visitors), partly because it made the volunteers nervous because we didn't know when they'd be coming and we'd want to be prepared, and if you were off on a bike ride 20km away you'd feel like a fool if you got a call and the PTO or whoever was calling you up asking where you were (not to mention when people were slipping away from site undercover for a night to head into town to get internet access or to buy some western items or meet another PCV or whatever). So, we raised the issue with VAC, and it took a little while to finally get things in motion, but we made a rule that staff had to inform volunteers 24 hours ahead of time before any visits to "give the family time to prepare" or whatever. Worked out pretty nicely. There were at least 3 or 4 other rules/requests I can think of that we got put together (got them to install storage lockers for us in the volunteer resource room, hammered out some vacation policies, etc.) so I would definitely call it a worthwhile group for us.

doo doo thief posted:From looking over this thread it seems the general consensus is that the Peace Corps fails to perform any kind of aid or development mission and really is just a waste of government money and volunteer time unless you are looking to learn a useless language, pad a grad school app, or marry a Cambodian villager. I don't know if it's an internet demographic thing but I feel pretty strongly that there is a lot of cynicism and pessimism coming from this topic. The PCorps is not as worthless as people are making it out. Yes, it's got its flaws, and the "business" model so to speak could be altered to make it more efficient, but I feel like the people griping about it may have more personal beef with the program. I'm happy with what I accomplished in my village. Could I have taught English to more people? Probably. But I think teaching it to the ones I did, making that connection to them, and teaching them a little about the world outside their borders was a contribution of which I could be proud. People who were unsuccessful at their sites will often find it easier to blame the program for not providing enough support to volunteers or what have you than to accept the blame for having been unable to affect change in their village by themselves. USAID is a different story and I don't know enough about the mechanics of the operation but it is easy to see the US personnel driving around in their jeeps and eating at Western restaurants and to get a bad impression of that. However, you've got to realize that not everyone wants to/is willing to rough it for a period of years in the host country the way PCVs do. If you want to attract these people with graduate degrees and lots of experience in development, you'll have to make it comfortable for them to work in these countries. Sure, in an ideal world they'd all accept a pittance of a salary and everything would go into the programs they were fostering throughout the country, but guess what fellas, it ain't an ideal world.

Sprayers are nice, although not everyone gets a sprayer and has to make do with washing using a scooper and water. Sometimes you prefer TP, sometimes not, but you get used to it. Bucket showers can be FANTASTIC. When it's hot season and you get off of 4 hours teaching in the middle of the blistering heat and you go back and just dump a bucket of cold water over your head and down your back it's glorious. Waking up in the morning and showering with frigid buckets of water can be pretty miserable, though, and the contortions you've got to go through to properly wash hard-to-reach spots while still pouring the water evenly are just ridiculous. Overall they're annoying but you grow accustomed to them and sometimes will even miss them when you get back to your convenience and luxury back in the states. Kinda like a lot of things in your host country, haha. Didn't see your second post before submitting- Pocket DeSade posted:But what are the inherent weaknesses of bucket-bathing? This is one thing I'm sort of interested in, because I get rather greasy looking if I even go a day without showering. You can't do your lathering under the stream of water like you would in the shower- you've got to get wet, then pick up the shampoo, lather up, rinse off (and repeat if desired), then pick up the soap, lather up, and rinse off. Sometimes easier to do it limb-by-limb, I guess, but you'll figure out your own style. Basically the only weaknesses I can think of are only being able to use one hand to rinse off, and just how COLD it is when the water hits the spot between your shoulderblades.

Everything I've heard indicates that med sep is a really tough loving process. Sorry to hear it man. Depending on how remote your site was, maybe you could ask another PCV you're friends with to go through your poo poo and separate the things you do/don't want shipped home? PC will probably just crate up everything and send it back regardless of whether you want it so maybe to save on excess poo poo you could have a friend throw out the crap you can leave behind.

If it's a webcam, he doesn't even need to wear pants, forget Chacos or Tevas.
