I don' t think my original comment posted, so sorry if I repeat myself..

This is for "joe" who knows so much about the American military assignments. Contrary to what you think, not all Military are stationed on a military base. My husband is stationed at an Embassy where we have NO shopping or medical facilities, except a nurse. We use the local medical/dental facilities, as well, as local stores. Not all of us have the luxury of a commissary. I am fortunate to NOT be in a third world country, but many of our friends are at Embassies that are. There are many "hardship" tours where families go with the military member. Every Embassy in the world has military assigned and with very few exceptions, ie a war zone, family accompany their spouses. So, I'm sorry to dispel your myth, but some of us do look forward to our return home to the luxuries we don't get while in some of the countries our spouses serve in
