Then those comparisons to the E-1 become real.
This is very true. There is some scarey stuff in this LOA about your financial responsibility to the company if things don't work out for you and your family over there. Pack up and move home on your own nickel along with pay back of the company "seed money" and all storage costs for your HHG's..This would not be so bad if there was a real COLA in this LOA but there is not. It is completely inadequate. That being the case you had better make sure ahead of time that you and your family can afford to sell your home and move over there without being financially destroyed. Does not give me a warm and fuzzy.
