[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russia.  DW chose not to come.  Her choice.

Foreign Service hardship tours can be 2 -3 years.  This Fall's bidding list includes, for example:

Lagos -        3 years
Chengdu -    2 years
Chennai -     2 year
Guangzhou - 3 years
Hanoi -         3 years
HCM City -    3 years
Mumbai   -    3 years

The list goes on.  I've only counted posts with a 20 % or higher differential.  Lagos is 25% plus a 15% Service Need Differential.  Places like AIP countries are 1 year tours that are too dangerous for families.  I would go to any of those three for a year before Lagos.  Otherwisw, I will virtually go anywhere.

DW seems to think a career is somehow limited to Canada and Western Europe.  [/quote]

Yeah I got it OP, she is one of those spouses who wants to climb the easy ladder. She prefers to go to the luxury posts - Paris, London, Prague etc... I've come across a lot of these princess in my time. World wide availability does not apply to them. But I think the reason why she is squirreling away money may be because she's afraid you might call her one day and tell her you've found yourself a Russian beauty and want a divorce. There's a risk when you let your husband go on unaccompanied tours, particularly in places like Eastern Europe and Asia. If insecurity is causing her to steal money from the family that is a separate issue than the backup system. [/quote]

Maybe she has a good job in dc and likes the kids' schools! Would you same the same thing of a man who refused to go on every tour?[/quote]
