How does it work getting stationed? You spend a couple years in Arizona and then you just randomly end up in Orono, Maine? Or do you fill out some kind of request form?

Have you read Legacy of Ashes by Tom Weiner? His central thesis is that the CIA never focused on its true mission of intelligence, instead focusing money and manpower on covert action. What is your opinion on this?

With the explosion of craft beer and the wider distribution of microbrews, do you find that "tiers" are starting to emerge in the craft brew world? For example, do you compete more directly with, say, Magic Hat, rather than Dogfish, or is the market just one wide open shark tank?

Where would you least like to see the US involved in a prolonged conflict right now? As a professor of military history, what is the most important advancement the military has made (technical, administrative or anything else) in the past 20 years?

That's awesome, good to hear the beer world still has plenty of room for the little guys!
