After 20 years in the US military ... the ex-marine, who has lived in 35 countries
Thirty five countries in 20 years? That doesn't sound right to me.
Normal time in a duty station is what - 2 years, maybe three?

Maybe “lived in” includes every country he passed through. My father (Navy 30 years) and my brother (Air Force 22 years) “breathed in” a lot more countries than they were semi-permanently resident in.

My father only “lived in” the United States, his whole career. Even during his two tours in Vietnam, he lived on a U.S. Navy ship, not in the country.

He’s counting the countries the jet landed for refueling ...
