You've made a terrific ...Amy, Congratulations!! You've made a terrific decision to join the FS! <br /><br />You must 'leave the building' on the last day of the month you turn 65. If you are the OMS to an Ambassador, you can work longer to accomodate his/her tour length. Any other section, you need to walk out the door. The very best advice I can give you is to very carefully watch your tour dates as you approach your retirement year. If you need to move from a summer cycle to a winter cycle, depending on your birthday, do it! I have a June birthday and finding a post that I could get to and serve 2 years was nearly impossible...until the position in Pakistan came into my radar. Feel free to email me with any questions you come up with. You'll find that your greatest source of information are those of us with experience and let me tell you, we are all willing to share! My email is debidemetrion@gmail.com. And again...congratulations on a wonderful career move!!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879622417276359411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11455362.post-16411545731871523692012-02-28T20:50:07.542+04:002012-02-28T20:50:07.542+04:00Hi! I love reading your blog. I like your style.
...Hi! I love reading your blog. I like your style. <br /><br />I'm getting ready to join the FS as an OMS in the March '12 class. And your post already has me thinking about retirement. I know it's mandatory at 65, correct? Will I be able to work *while* I'm 65, or do I have to be retired at 65. I ask because I'm 45 now and would love to get in the 20 years before retiring!Amy Wasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14438705039669497044noreply@blogger.com
