Defense Attaché staffer at a U.S. Embassy

[@thomask5038]

Subscribed. I'm currently AD Army and I'm going through the process of submitting a packet for DAS consideration and I stumbled across this video. Great resource as there's very little information that I've found on Defense Attache Service. So thank you for doing this interview.

Thank you sharing these informative videos. It is very much appreciated and valued by individuals geared towards foreign service.

@@MixedKnotFilAmFamilyTV you're welcome. Thanks for checking the channel out.

Very informative video. Thinking about applying myself in the near future. I was hesitant due to the fact that I am also dropping my Warrant Officer packet and not knowing it could be an option as a Defense Attaché also. Thanks for the info and tips.

Thanks for the tips, currently applying now

Thanks for the interview. I certainly forget that embassies and consulates don't just consist of Foreign Service Officers but that diplomacy extends to many different avenues indeed. I will be taking the CFPT and FSOT in the near future, wish me luck!

[@RobJoswiak]

Good luck!

Thank you for this valuable interview and information. I am currently preparing a packet to submit to DAS as well. Hopefully i get accepted.

@Mr. Joswiak, do you have any advice for someone applying to DAS? Thank you again for your time.

I love the transparency. I would love to do this and will apply in a year or so. Where can I begin to build my packet ? Go thru the reg?

[@RobJoswiak]

What would you like to apply for?

Do you wear uniform or civilian clothes while you're on duty in defense attaché? I heard all special missions they wearing civilian clothes.

[@RobJoswiak]

Most days, civilian clothes. On occasions, their uniform depending on the occasion.

For those who get it can your family accompany you to whatever location you go to?

[@RobJoswiak]

Not all locations but most.
