Just to add some information in the mix...

USASFC has a current force growth mission that will likely be achieved by 2013/14. From the numbers I've seen it is unlikely that this can be achieved without the 18X program.

They are just starting to see the first 5 year 18X contracts come up for re-up and apparently the resign rate is very high, which I've been told was one of the programs major KPIs.

I imagine you're looking at a Mid 2012 MBA Graduation?

Here's an idea, enlist with the ARNG, get selected (try), do the Q course, you can complete your Masters while in the guard....you'll need to make sure thats possible though, my understanding is that it can be done, but I wouldn't take my word for it.

HTH
