Why Join the Foreign Service Part 2

I was perhaps a little flippant in this post about why join the Foreign Service.  In all seriousness, there is a sense of purpose. I spent a few years representing America abroad in my small way, as a musician in the US Navy Sixth Fleet Band.  That experience led me to the conclusion that the world is a better place where Americans are positively engaged.  I've had a rewarding career in the private sector, but it does lack a sense of service.  I'm really excited about the opportunity to once again have a small role in promoting America.

That, and getting some really cool FourSquare check ins.  Assuming we have service, of course.
