SF needs proven, quality officers with higher education credentials too. In fact, considering the future and what I see every day at work, we will need all of them we can get - and some of the best will have to be drafted kicking and screaming "for the good of the regiment". You have a long way to go and a lot of hurdles to overcome before a Master's Degree is an issue.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
