Not quite the meaning of your question... but one of the "perks" of being married to a military member is that when they go overseas you sometimes get to go too.  I have worked overseas, but it was for the military in a civilian capacity.  I did get to work in an office that had a lot of contact with the Portugese military... any requests for anything done on the base had to be approved by them and our office handled the processing of these letters back and forth.  In that, I got to work with the Portugese, know their customs, and I enjoyed it.  Given an opportunity I'd go back and do it again.  I feel that this is the best of both worlds really.  Working overseas without as many of the differences as might occur if it was for a company that was not American-based.



But do I feel that I'm qualified to work in an International job... you bet!  And someday I might get the opportunity.  Andrea... if TAA ever needs to send an Admin overseas to develop relations, let me know!    I love to study other customs (not from books, but in real life) and other countries.  Everything I've learned doing this has just made me appreciate what we tend to take for granted here in the states.
