What skills did you have to learn in order to qualify?

As a young child I wanted to be a spy. I didn't quite understand the danger element or the possibility of having to hurt or kill others. I also was under the impression that spying would be a Lemony Snicket type affair and that I could totally bust someone like in a kids' adventure novel if only I had the chance! That being said, even though my life and career aspirations are now far less risky, I would love to go on some kind of course that teaches you similar skills to those you learn in the CIA (or military, etc.) without actually having to join, or at lest know what those skills are so that I can practice them. More to appease my inner five-year-old than anything.

Also, if this hasn't already been answered: What was the most difficult situation you found yourself in?

How, approximately, are the pay and benefits?

If you had not become a CIA Officer what would have been your first career choice?

Who is your favourite fictional CIA-ish character?

Thanks in advance, sorry if it's too many questions.

Of all the books you've read or the films/TV shows/theatre etc. you've seen about the war, which ones would you reccommend for realism?

What kind of dogs were Peter and Peter 2?

If you could time-travel, what's the first era you would visit? And are there any countries you'd love to go to but haven't yet?

Which tube station? I'd love to see.
