What do you do for a living?

[VictorCharlie]

I hunt armed men...Considering leaving active duty for a job in Texas and a sweet National Guard gig. I have a BA in history and am working on a master in military science. Prior to the military I ran a bar and before that I worked for the school district with at risk youth.

And what is the topic of your master paper?

I just started after the new year and AMU had some course requirements I had to complete first so I haven't started my paper yet. I have put the program on hold during my deployment. I had been doing some research on the characteristics of successful and unsuccessful counterinsurgency throughout history. I may decide to go with this topic or a variety of it but I am also thinking strongly on the failures of nation building by the west from a military point of view.
