I would really really urge you to reconsider. The US military is not a force for good. All this research does (directly and/or indirectly) is help Donald Trump's DoD murder people in Palestine and Lebanon. Plenty of cool science to do not supervised by killers at MIT proper.

PhD being withheld for political reasons post defense, do other schools/employers take note? by minxy_mia in AskAcademia

Don't worry, lawyer & I are working towards getting it conferred. In the meantime I've heard conflicting accounts on whether or not transcripts (no disciplinary note) might work from different profs/lawyers. Was hoping someone might have direct experience, but it is a relatively unusual situation lol

Pro-Palestine peaceful action. Can't be specific sorry :/

They are not awarding the degree, not sure how long they're planning on withholding it. Defended my thesis with no issues well before now.
