I have friends in the US Foreign Service. Basically you have to work your way up to duty stations like west Europe. The people I know work overseas a few years, then stateside in DC for a couple of years, repeat, repeat, repeat.

So every few years they move. I think there first duty station was Nairobi, Kenya, then DC, then Bangkok, then DC then Pretoria, then DC but now it's Germany. It should be more upscale from now on. And there were were a lot of trips to other countries in the regional For example when he was stationed in Nairobi he traveled throughout NW Africa and the Mideast. When in Bangkok he traveled around SouthEast Asia and the Pacific.

It take an adventurous spirit.
