I am five years into what I hope will be a long and successful military career. Every since my junior enlisted days I tried to stay enrolled in at least one college class. I've completed 54 credit hours toward a Bachelor's in Political Science with concentration on International Relations. After the military I want to use my degree to help jump start a new career in this field. I haven't met any Officers with Political Science degrees to get advice from. What can I do in the Army to gain experience in the "International Relations" area? I'm a Medic now. All opinions are welcomed, but only professional opinions will be acknowledged.

Think I saw it on here - but try Civil Affairs or Army Attache assignments. FAO branch may be able to point you in the right direction to get in contact with some FAO Officers.

MOS 51C Contracting NCO. You will deploy in small teams and work with locals to support overseas operations, work along side civilian employees and when you're done with the Army you can put on a polo shirt and keep doing the same job for more pay.
DC is full of these jobs.
