Well, I said it was extremely hard, not impossible (as far as I know). I don't personally know of anyone who went from an ALT to CIR, but I do know of 2 people who managed to switch from 1 ALT location to another. 1 girl was able to manage it in the 2 years I was there, and a year after I left, I heard that an ALT from a few towns over transfered into the position I had been teaching in. So it is possible to do. But there's a lot of paperwork, and you need to give some good reasons why you need to move (I don't know the exact reasons given by those 2 who succeeded, but I'd heard that in order to move, it's got to be something a lot better than "I just like that place better".)
