Can't argue with that logic - and don't plan to try to find out about the 5 years elective stuff to your point of getting time and moving on. Thanks for bringing it up - made the decision 10x easier and I woulda kicked myself if I'd found out about this in a couple years after sucking on reserve while commuting!
