Lets hope you don't spend your 2.5 years there and then **** someone off by some outrageous conduct such as getting a kidney stone and having to be out 3 weeks. You might come back and find yourself getting a "checkride with a purpose" that strangely enough you won't pass. Then you might end up at one of the non-"crappy" regionals, again hoping to "get in and get out." Good luck with the gamble, some guys do manage to get in and get out, although I have not seen any get out too quickly.
