How is your Christmas going?

Was there ever a moment during your time as a case officer when you had to pack up at moments notice and fly across the globe to respond to an emergency?

What was the transition like from case officer to everyday civilian?

Did the CIA fly you home for Christmas, or did you have to explain why you couldn't go home that year for the holidays?

How did the bureaucracy of Washington effect you during your time as an officer?

Would you mind if I PM you to ask you some more questions that relate more specifically to a personal friend of mine?

I ordered your book today, I can't wait to read it!

Thanks for another AMA, and Merry Christmas!

It's going great! I thought that rape question was weird as hell. And I have studied interrogation techniques relatively extensively and I have never read or heard that they were at all sexual.

I completely understand about the PM's. So here are my friend's more personal questions...

Will a nut allegedly disqualify him from being a case officer or involved in operations at the CIA?

Prior to joining operations, what prior experiences are they looking for?

Is living in the D.C. area a disadvantage, advantage, or neither?

Should he try to be as fit as a Navy SEAL, or should I try to blend in more?

Which major would be better to study, intelligence analysis or finance?

If your allowed to talk about it, what were some ways that you contacted assets and built trust with those assets in the field?

Also I just want to take this time to thank you for your service and let you know that you're a personal hero of mine.
