Like CountriGal, I've worked overseas for the military too, and it is indeed the best of both worlds...the security of staying with the same "company" no matter where I worked, but with the ability to live and travel in a foreign country.  



I worked for three years in England, came back to the States for three years, then worked for nine years in Germany.  I loved the experience!  During the time I lived in Europe, I was also lucky enough to have a job where I travelled on business (as well as while on vaction, of course).  Not only did I spend time in different places in England and all over Germany, but also in Italy and Turkey (and got paid for it  .  I loved being able to live in another country and to meet the people.



Did I have an exotic job? Some would think so.  I've been involved (behind the scenes as most admins are) in several events that were in the news, and some that weren't.  But as most admin jobs, it had its routines, too.



The bottom line is that anyone who wants to can work in places outside the United States.  Those "in the trenches" who want to work in "exotic" locales can...they just have to really want to, then work towards that goal.  You'll never get hired if you don't apply.



My dream job?...why the one I have of course!
