I think I'll go with Low Profile. Lone wolf isn't very useful in crowded situations, and gunslinger would only be imperative for special ops.

As usual, I'll push for Experimental Warfare to be our primary research focus. It's for the greater good~

For a little more info on the various researches for those who haven't played this much/before.

UFO analysis - make your interceptors do bonus damage on all their hits against that type of UFO
Xenogenetics - Unlocks the Genetics Lab, where you can experiment on your soldiers and give them snazzy gene mods with that meld we've picked up. Most gene mods will require an specific alien autopsy before they are unlocked though.
Experimental Warfare - Unlocks a bunch of fancy things, also unlocks the first gauss research
Sectoid Autopsy - If both this and xenogenetics are researched unlocks the xenopsionics research, which allows you to build the psi lab and start working on psionics.

The thought of Tiruin taking "Aggression" makes me giggle a little.

Also, I vote for Improved Body Armor. Don't want to use those clones, amirite?

I don't even know at this point. I'll let the more experienced people decide xD

It's for humanity, sir. u_u
And thinking of it, it makes sense ._.
When you're in a world where countless people get x_x everyday...and after seeing all the experiments done? It's like...people doing atrocities as if its daily living, but worse! (aliens doing atrocities as if its daily living) D:

Aggression please! :D
Though I'm unsure on my skills at the moment, due to partial forgetfulness at this time. Do I have any previous overwatch skills? If so--reconsider on Opportunist (but take Aggression if none are presented)
I got Covering Fire. Hmm.
>_> Two good choices, but the latter is great only with other choices...
Blast it not seeing character skill trees!

Yes Aggression.

The Long War wiki has the perk trees for all the classes. You could always look up the perks.

I'll take covering fire please!

And I'll throw my vote in for Experimental Warfare. That stuff is good.

I want to do the research thing that lets you carry around toasters with labels that say "insert metallic object" in sectoid.

I'm planning on rolling with overwatch or damage skills at every level, myself.

Plan all you want, it makes things easier for me when I'm leveling up soldiers since I don't have to wait on a response. Just note that I will go ahead with your plan as soon as you level, so if you change your mind you'll need to make sure I know.
