Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. DEPLOYABILITY: Due to the demanding nature of assignments as an Expeditionary Civilian, prospective applicants should carefully assess suitability with respect to medical requirements and other personal/legal issues, including eligibility for a security clearance, job history and experience commensurate with the position description, and ability to handle a job environment with high stress and long (60-70) hours per week. DoD requires that you have the physical & mental capacity, with or without a medical accommodation, to perform the essential functions of a position for a full tour of duty without unreasonable disruption because of health problems. Before you can be deployed, you will be medically screened to determine if you have health conditions that will prevent you from performing assigned duties in theater or that will require a medical waiver to deploy. In most cases medical facilities in Afghanistan and other operational areas where DoD-EC employees are stationed will not be able to accommodate people with serious health problems, psychiatric conditions, or major physical limitations. The physical requirements of the jobs in these operational areas require applicants to be healthy and fit. During your medical evaluation, attending medical personnel will take into account any and all mitigating factors that can influence a decision regarding your deployability. If you are disqualified because of medical or dental issues, you may request a medical waiver. Your qualification for deployment will be based on your medical & dental status at the time of evaluation. If, after your qualification for deployment, you become ill, undergo surgery, add or change medications, undergo therapy/treatment, or develop any condition for which you seek medical assistance, you should notify the DON EC Program Office immediately. You should understand that any significant deterioration in the status of your health may result in your being disqualified from deployment or sent home after you have deployed. Failure to disclose such information may seriously affect your health overseas, as well as undermine the ability of your gaining organization to perform its assigned mission. If you are currently dealing with medical conditions, you may require a waiver after medical evaluation. If you choose to pursue a waiver, you will be required to either 1) demonstrate clearly that you are able to perform the functions of the job to which you are assigned without placing an undue burden on the gaining organization or 2) show that you have been symptom-free for the amount of time indicated below (where appropriate). Waivers are not automatic and may be quite difficult to obtain. Further information may be obtained from MOD 17 to USCENTCOM Individual Protection and Individual/Unit Deployment Policy and PPG-TAB A that accompanies MOD 18, https://www.centcom.mil/Portals/6/MEDICAL/MOD18TabA.pdf While an individual's final medical deployment eligibility determination lies with the providers assigned to the National Deployment Center (NDC), the authority to waive certain CENTCOM medical standards rests with the CENTCOM Surgeon's Office. The NDC is not a healthcare provider and not authorized to answer healthcare questions. PERSONAL/LEGAL If you can answer "Yes" to any of the questions below, you should carefully consider whether a deployment would be right for you. Have you recently experienced a change in the status of an important personal relationship or change in family status (recent birth, death of a loved one, become a primary caregiver, etc.)? Have you had difficulty (past/present) adjusting to high levels of stress or experienced anxiety as a result? Are you involved in any ongoing legal proceedings?

A pattern of financial irresponsibility (bankruptcy, credit problems, defaulting on loans) or inability/unwillingness to satisfy debts; financial problems linked to gambling, drug abuse, alcoholism, or other issues of a security concern; deceptive or illegal financial practices: embezzlement, employee theft, check, or expense account fraud, income tax evasion, filing deceptive loan statements, & other intentional breaches of trust; membership in any organization that advocates the commission of acts of force/violence to deny persons their rights under the Constitution of the United States; petitioned to be declared a conscientious objector to war; moving violations (fines over $200); illegal drug use (i.e., cocaine, heroin, LSD, or PCP); illegal purchase, possession, or sale of any narcotics; or deliberate omission, concealment, or falsification of a material fact in any written document or oral statement to the government when applying for security processing?
