That's awesome. I'd probably do something like that, if I weren't a woman. I know women can join the Army, but it's not quite the same... I've always fantasized about being approached and recruited by the CIA, but I'm not sure that's what I want and am not ready to apply.

Best of luck to you either way...
Thanks. Yeah, I'm avoiding the COIN because there are so many flaws in the doctrine. It's basically a bunch of made-up new stuff that has yet to work. What do you think about a counterterrorism degree?
