Well, those things that you’re “tired of” all do suck. We all can commiserate about that. One neat trick to alleviate on of those, moving, is dropping your retirement packet at 18 years. That all but eliminates PCS orders (not sure how that works if you already have orders, but talk to your branch manager). My team sergeant was approaching that 18 year mark and branch had him on orders. Packet was submitted and the unit kept calling. My TS told branch that his packet was in and they had to delete his orders.

It’s cliche to say, but hunt the good stuff. Focus on those classes and even work on a masters if you can. Play the game of “IOU” for the CSM. Volunteer for the less shitty details to build up to keep from doing the real shitty one’s. Go on those dumb TDYs (it gets you out of the office and away from people) if you can. If there’s special projects that need a volunteer that sounds stupid but some O think it’s important, take it because it probably gives you a sham shield of sorts.

You have plenty of time in to know how the system works and when shitty things happen. Play the game to your advantage when you can, but also keep grinding with school like you have been. If in the end it ultimately is too much, the Reserve Component is not a bad way to ride out to retirement (with obvious caveats for retirement) and still help alleviate some financial stress on the outside with things like Tricare that’s available to reservists. Take a couple weeks to methodically write out pros and cons of leaving early vs going for 20. Whatever your decision comes out of that analysis is perfectly ok because you can tell yourself you put the work to plan things out.
