<p>Shevlock, lots of good info here -- and I'll only add a little that I haven't seen so far. </p>
<p>On some of the other CC academy forums the same question has been asked, and in one the advice was that, while everyone goes for four years, your couple of "extra" years of college are applied up front and you can actually "test" out of classes you've already taken -- at least some of them. That might allow you to take additional, in-depth classes in your area of interest that can get you started on a masters while still at the academy. If you search, I'm sure you can find similar threads (to your question) on all the academy CC forums. And, the advice by WAMom to check your DODMERB criteria out on the serviceacademyforums.com site is solid advice. As the Major says, it will likely apply to whatever commissioning source you come from. </p>
<p>You have time to pursue your studies, work on your waiver and still focus your current classes toward another try at WP, if that's what you decide. What can you lose? A year from now you'll be a year older but you may have your waiver questions answered and new options to consider.</p>
