I just met a Mesa captain who interviewed with only a 2 year degree plus other credits. He was given a CJO providing that he earned his 4 year degree within one year. He is going to finish 3 months early. He was frustrated that he waited so long to finish school. His attitude was that everyone knows that the legacies are big on a degree and that there was no valid excuse why he blew it off for so long. He said that it made him appear lazy for willfully not meeting the desired requirements and he’s grateful that they gave him a chance.
