Thanks for the responses! Anyway, reason I was asking was that I'm currently looking into internships for this summer. Among the places I'm considering are the several foreign consulates located here in Miami (as I'm an international affairs major). Obviously, I want to work somewhere 'friendly,' but even with that in mind, how would that affect security clearances in the future (not only for the military, but as I plan to work for the gov't as a civilian)?
