Housing bills and other expenses can be talked about, but this program will be funded by NATO countries.

It makes sense on paper. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 06 Mar 2023 14:36:04 -0500 2023-03-06T14:36:04-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/nato-work-exchange-program?n=8166691&urlhash=8166691 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Considering most of NATO is in Europe, and people in Europe can already move around freely and work in different countries, I don&#39;t see this as filling a need.

On the other hand what would the US have to gain even if there was such a program. <br /><br />Anyway it sounds fun, just not practical. By the way there is a truly robust student exchange program ongoing around the globe. <br /><br />Just my thoughts.

I assume they still are. Expanding to the DoD civilian workforce could provide great opportunities. Lt Col Jim Coe Fri, 17 Mar 2023 10:44:14 -0400 2023-03-17T10:44:14-04:00 2023-03-06T13:51:33-05:00
