Questions about the Foreign Service?

Those of you following this blog know that I’m spending the month of January talking about jobs in foreign affairs, especially with the Foreign Service. Toward the end of the month I’ll be putting up a question and answer post, but for that I’ll need questions. I’m collecting these questions on the Facebook discussion board. So, if you’re looking at joining the Foreign Service and have a question, ask it there. If you’re in the foreign service, but your friends or family are always asking you the same questions, suggest them there. At the end of the month, I’ll go through and answer as many as I can in a post here. Thanks for your help!
