COS Conference Time

We (MAK 8) had our Close Of Service conference last week. It was a bit of a whirlwind--a lot of information presented, a few activities that were on the brink of getting uncomfortably emotional and a lot of hanging out.

It all began with a ton of information about post-PC stuff like health insurance, dental and medical exams, writing our description of service, the really fun stuff. I found out we get to keep our PC Passports (which I am pretty fired up about) and we also found out that we don't get a living allowance for the last month in country because the first month we were at site they did the first and last month deposit--ouch! That is painful to the pocketbook. We also got a lot of information about post- service options for graduate schools and work opportunities. It was an information-packed few days.

In this picture we are tossing around a masking-tape ball, talking about ourselves. LOVE Ice breakers!
