We are preparing for short-term projects:  Joint Base Lewis-McChord Washington 26 April to 25 May; Camp Grayling Michigan 22 July to 21 August; Honolulu Hawaii 1 October to 29 October where your language skills will be used in support of a joint military exercise supporting U.S. and foreign service members. The working conditions are going to be a combination of classroom instruction and outdoor training sessions. There will be a few days when the work environment will be austere while supporting the field training exercises (see bullets below for more detail).  You may be working side-by-side and living with the military during these field training exercises.

• While in the field you will have limited access to showers and laundry.
• Sleeping could be in an outdoor environment on the ground with sleeping bags. This will be with the military.

Most lodging will be in a hotel or on the military bases with the military.  

You may have limited access to anything outside of the bases, such as stores-banking-entertainment-restaurants-etc.  During the exercises we will have a project management team on site with you to ensure your needs are met and if for any emergencies that arise.

Here are the current requirements for the position.

1. Must be a US citizen and eligible to work within the US.
2. Must pass a basic background check and interview.
