I am employed by my company but I was out of the country 2x working for them. Does that allow me to claim the money I earned while being overseas as foreign earned incom

I did not work for any govt or stayed on a military base.

generally no -- this US  sourced income  and  your tax home is in the USA. Also the foreign govt. did not tax you on the income -- you were on short term travle status -- sorry
