SAIS vs SIPA vs SSP

[thrtyfutsmurf]

Hello everyone! I'm going a bit nuts trying to think through comparing these programs and am hoping someone here might have some helpful insight. First, some background. I am a active duty military officer who was awarded a fully funded scholarship to any graduate school of my choice. There is no cost cap, so (thankfully) funding is not a major concern. My near term goal is to continue a successful career as an officer in the Infantry (after grad school). I don't anticipate serving beyond 20 years, but if the right assignments come I could be convinced to stay longer. My long term goals after the military seem to be focused on security policy and government work either in the NCTC, FBI or CIA. I am interested in developing my understanding of international relations and global strategic issues at grad school, while also developing German language skills. Each of the programs listed here have their strengths and weaknesses, but I was hoping someone here might have some thoughts on the programs that I may have missed. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated!
