I bounced around overseas as a kid due to my father's job.

I bounced around overseas as a kid due to my father's job. In most of the country there is the automatic assumption that my family is connected to the military. In their heads the only reason people go overseas for work is for the government. It's only in some of the major cities that people have the correct understanding that the vast majority of American expatriates have nothing to do with the military. It's not an annoying problem or anything like that, it just speaks to a certain mentality in most of the country that's hard to relate to.
