For those looking at Officer side of the house it is worth noting that if you do not have a degree already you will have to get a degree, or demonstrate significant progress towards one, during your 'contract' time. Experience may get you in the door but in order to stay you need the degree. If you do not then, as it stands today, you will not be offered any significant extensions to service and may only be offered rolling one year extensions while you complete that degree. Worst case you face being released at the end of your time.
