[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is retired military Intel officer. He has had excellent opportunities. [/quote]

What were they?[/quote]

Not sure what you are asking. I’m not going to disclose details. [/quote]

You can't say generally what the opportunities were? "Excellent" is a subjective term. On DCUM, getting a job at a federal contractor as an intel analyst would not be "excellent", for example. [/quote]

Why wouldn't that be "excellent"?  Because on DCUM only $10M/year is "excellent"?[/quote]'

No, because they are inherently unstable, subject to government funding/contract re-competitions, and quality of life can be bad depending on the client. [/quote]

You are speaking of your own limited experience. [/quote]

Don't take my word for it, research it and you will see - that's contractor life. [/quote]

Ummm.  I know exactly what the possibilities are. I don’t need to research anything.  Intelligence officers have many options after retiring from active duty.   Not all involve federal or contractor positions. [/quote]
