The few Agents that I have known over the years have agreed, it is tough on the family. Usually (always the exception) there is a two year unaccompanied hardship tour followed by a two - three year accompanied tour. Some sites can be gravy (Nassau comes to mind)...buttttt there are some under developed stink holes that aint so much fun. Benefits can be great, but if you are on that hardship tour....a lot of embassy parties, Friday nights at the Marine House, downtown Bogotá (Zona Rosa - God that place is great), well, suffice to say, you can get into a lot of trouble! Embassy life is not for everyone, think of the high school clicks and gossip and you get to play rumor control for the Ambassador.
