Applicants now have much more say in what country they end up in, and I know PCMO was radically changed after the death of some PCVs, including a friend of mine. Before you count yourself out, have a conversation with a recruiter -- you might hear good news. :)wide-eyed innocenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02837464660590027433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633511465573519589.post-19809641656258823922017-01-12T07:06:12.693-08:002017-01-12T07:06:12.693-08:00(My name is not Mom.
