It's not so much that my current degree can't serve it's purpose, it's that I feel like I am on the outside looking in. Many job offers come from summer internship opportunities- something I don't have access to anymore. I'd essentially use the second masters as a way to transition out of the military. I feel like the transition from active-service to full-time employment is very challenging, partly because very few organizations are looking to take a chance on a guy who they consider an "unknown".

Just read over that. We are in a pretty similar situation. Transition out of the military comes with a lot of tough decisions.

I feel like a PhD is a little too much... I'm not sure if I want to go back to school for 4 years.

Hey all, I am currently serving a US Army officer. I'm looking to transition into a consulting firm or a research role at a NGO once my service is complete. I already have my MPA from a solid-state school. Would it be crazy to go back to school? I'd be targeting Georgetown's Security Studies Program. If I did go back, what type of salary and job opportunities could I expect? I'd have 4 years active commissioned service at the time of matriculation. Thanks for the input.
