re: #57 wheat-dogg
I took the Foreign Service exam twice. Passed the written both times. Once when Reagan was in office, and then when W was in office. I never went on to the interview process, because I knew I could not represent either administration’s foreign policy goals impartially.
Trump is making it a real challenge for career FSO to remain in their posts.
I took it and failed after I graduated. A disappointment at the time but no regrets in hindsight.
