I am interested in employment with the CIA, specifically in clandestine operations overseas. I have just begun doing research on this, and still know very little, so forgive my ignorance. I will state my background. Please tell me if it is worth for me going forward, and the general likelihood that I may be considered/accepted. Thanks! I grew up in the private school system (Christian school). After high school, I joined the Marine Reserves in a combat unit. I was sent to Iraq in the initial invasion. Recieved the Combat Action Ribbon and Presidential Unit Citation, to list a few. Since joining the USMC, I have made several trips to a US friendly country in Asia, visiting my girlfriend who is now my wife. I have never done any drugs, I have had alcohal a few times, been really drunk only once. For me, my faith is incredibly important and I try to live according to it. I am a university student now, English major with a 3.49 GPA. (I don't intend on applying until after I graduate). Key concerns are these: 1) My wife is a foriegn national. She is now a legal resident of the USA, but is not a U.S. citizen. Obviously, that means my in-laws are not Americans. 2) I have not been married long, and was struggling with the pressures of marriage, etc. etc. and had gone on a trip to her country (she stayed in the US while I went there), and there, I had sexual relations with another woman. Since coming back, I told her everything and we have worked it out, and moved on, however, I am concerned that this will be a tremendous character stain from the Agency's eyes, and make them unwilling to hire me. Sorry for the long-winded question. I really don't know much about the process, or if I am even Agency material, or if my fatal flaw is too much for them to endure. Any and all responses are very much appreciated. Thank you.
