So, for those who are not on FB with me, I got accepted to NIU (National Intelligence University).  This is a pretty big deal.

For one, it means I do not have 60-some days left in AFG.  I have 30-some days.  I feel a little bad about running out early, but everyone here would make the same choice if they had the chance.  I'll be in CO to welcome everyone home, and that works too.

Tomorrow, I go into planning mode.

Also, tomorrow, [livejournal.com profile] desert_sdwndr and I will embark on our first joint blogging venture, as well a kickstarter to get him posting more often.  We're going to do the 30 days of books meme that I did back in 2010.  It will be interesting to see what has changed for me, and to see what his answers turn out to be.

Whoah cool! Didn't realize you had less time over there, too. :)

Does this mean you get to be an agent of mystery, or desk job pouring over information? If it's the former, does it come with a cool sports car and a pair of sunglasses? :)

Thanks! Less time here (although sadly a little less money) is very good.

And, desk job.

Still sounds way more interesting than your usual desk job. :) They'd likely take a dim view of baccarat and martinis while working? :)

It's going to be one of those "hey pick a subject and go research as much as you want" type deals - looking at Central Asia, if I get my choice.

A martini now and then would be nice...

That still sounds like a very interesting gig. :)

It's going to be... and a lot of work. I am looking forward to it.

Thanks! It's a program in intelligence, so a lot of geopolitical stuff.

Yeah, watch out for that insubordination problem.
