I certainly don't want to pass bad info, so I stand corrected! I guess the 10% Truth Rule is universal to all services... even at The MUFF!!! As far as rationale goes, there is obviously a rationale for all the completely stupid things we do in the Air Force! There is rationale for wearing blues on Monday, wearing reflective belts when you are walking 10 ft to the shitter at the Deid at 3 am, deploying hundreds of people every year to the CAOC when 99% of what is done there could be done CONUS, deploying AF airman to be convoy drivers in the desert when some Cols are assigned personal drivers to work in Kuwait, deploying boom operators and loadmasters as "escorts" to stare at 2 TCNs who take 3 months to build a bus stop that could be done in 3 days, a Wing CC at McGuire who made people wear PT's to the Base gym or while running on Base, or kicking out 15+ yr pilots for being passed over when everyone knows the AF is going to have a big pilot shortage very soon in order to save money... yet forcing these same people to spend millions of AF budget dollars every year to get useless Masters degrees that very few will ever use for anything. That would be fantastic if IDE/SDE built "strategic thinkers", but for the most part it seems to be a big penis rub where everyone is told what fantastic leaders they are and are taught how to rationalize all that is ridiculously stupid!!!

Is it possible for a pilot to take two years off, after their 10 year ADSC, and go to an actual school to get a masters (with tuition assistance or on their own dime) and then return to active duty? A lot of the information here refers to online degrees while on active duty; if one were to actually go to an actual campus and get a masters degree, would this significant impact their AF career once they return to active duty?
