MEMORANDUM FOR: All SL Careerists
SUBJECT Overseas Rotations
1. The time is approaching when the Logistics Career Service will select
and nominate personnel for overseas assignments during 1971. As it has been
in the past, it is anticipated that many more persons will desire an assignment
overseas than the number of positions will permit. This year the competition
will be sharper, and the selected candidates must be more qualified because of
changes which have occurred over the past few years.
2. An increasing number of persons are finding overseas assignments more
and more attractive because of the challenging nature of the work and the adven-
ture of .foreign living and travel. On the other hand, thf; number of logistics
positions overseas has been steadily reduc r the ast few ears, going from
STATINTL in 1968 to the current level o posi-
tions over a 2-year period.
3. In addition to the greater number of personnel vying for fewer jobs, the
competition has been made even greater by the recent identification of^logistics
positions in which a foreign language capability will be :required in the future.
Persons selected to fill these positions will be required to study the language and
to achieve an established level of proficiency.
4. With the increased competition and added language requirements, a
Logistics Career Service employee would enhance his c;hances for selection if
he demonstrated the initiative to begin language training on his own. While such
study may enhance one`s chance for selection, it is by :no means to be the only
criteria to be considered. An individual may study a language and not be selected
far overseas rotation, but I assure you that the display of initiative will not be
STATI NTL lost. Any questions regarding la.ngua ere uirements ;should be directed to the
Office of Logistics Training Officer, n extension 2657.
