Tyler N. Hague, who hails from Kansas, has the longest current title of any of the 2013 astronaut class: he's serving the Department of Defense as Deputy Chief of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization. Or, the DoD as DC of the JIEDDO. We're sure somebody has said that before.

From Jacksonville, North Carolina, Hammock has a pretty awesome job currently: station chief at NOAA's outpost in American Samoa. Sweet! A tour as an astronaut might be one of the only things that could top that.

Meir has a medical rather than a military background; she's currently an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts General Hospital, has a doctorate from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and degrees from both Brown University and the International Space University, the latter of which I did not know existed but am now <em>painfully</em> curious about.

Morgan has both a military and a medical background; he's a graduate of West Point, but has a doctorate in medicine, experience as a physician and flight surgeon, and is completing a fellowship in sports medicine. Sounds like a good guy to have on the space station next to you.
