Welcome aboard Chase and good luck with the contract. If you don't mind let me make an observation. I gather from your post that your goal is to earn more money for college, leave the military as soon as you have obtained your financial goal, and go on to other things. If that is correct, then read on, if not pay no attention to what follows. SF needs folks that are willing to make a commitment to their life style, mission, core values, and goals. As this only comes with years of experience after training your short term outlook will not serve the needs of SF and especially will not serve the needs of your future team as they need your head in the game 24/7 working towards the same vision they all share. SF does not need folks with short term goals of "doing their bit" and getting out. While that might be an admirable goal for those electing to serve in other branches of the service, it is not something that is going to contribute to the overall mission profile requirements of SF. You might want to either reorder your priorities or seek another venue to meet you financial and college goals.
