Three years and eleven days, courtesy of the US Air Force. One year in the Republic of South Vietnam and the rest in merry ole' England. England was an extended honeymoon for my new bride and I. We were married between my Vietnam and England assignment. We were in England from '69 until '71. This was when England was still English and I have very fond memories of our time there.

Spent 3 years in Hawaii, 3 years in Japan, a year on Diego Garcia and 8 months in the UAE when I was in the USN. Visited a total of 51 countries but most of that was 6 or 7 days in one place and then moving on. But the 4 I mentioned were long term stays.

Alaska is considered an overseas assignment 😁. Anyhow 26 months total for Iraq, 1yr in Afghanistan, 10 months in Kuwait, 1 year South Korea (this was a fun assignment) I go back back again as a tourist with the wife. But if one wants a fun vacation look at going to South Korea it’s fun and relatively cheap. Majority South Koreans love Americans and are very interested in our culture.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Lol no really Alaska is considered an overseas assignment. But far as voluntarily moving to a different country? Hell no I cant take any of my firearms. I guess you can hunt to a certain extent. But not like here in this great country. People who move to foreign countries, voluntarily blows my mind. Work, I understand but just because no thanks.
