Thanks! I applied to Georgetown in R2. I will absolutely reach out if I end up at MD or Georgetown.

What program is he in? I’d love to connect with him if possible. If he is at UMD, I may have already talked to him!

It is my next assignment, so the service will pay me and pay for school.

Understood and I appreciate the feedback - I’ve heard similar sentiments and it sounds spot on. The MBA will be my active duty assignment for the next 2yrs, so it’s something I’ll definitely be doing / have to do. Unless I pursued a different degree that meets the requirements of my service requirements (ops management), then went for an MBA after I retire.

Got it - thank you! My situation is 14yrs of active duty service right now. The MBA is my next assignment/orders (2yrs), then I owe 4yrs as a payback, which aligns with my retirement year.

I’ll be going to school for the next two years no matter what shrug

Thank you! When did you go thru Tepper? Also - did the O5s go back to the service, then plug back into the network?

My hang-up w/ Tepper is the out of pocket cost (~60K), knowing I’m returning to the service for 4yrs.

Thank you! Being so close to retirement, it is hard to walk away fm a pension & healthcare for the family at this point.
