With a Master's degree he would be able to bargain to a certain extent but I wouldn't count on him not being deployed..it's pretty much a given these days no matter what.
That said...I know it's a scary thought..we got word last month that we're looking at our THIRD deployment late next year..BUT..the benefits and the money are really good especially right now. We pay nothing in medical costs..NOTHING...tricare can be a pain, but it's worth it. With a master's degree he would be able to do something called a Green to Gold program..not sure of the details but I've heard DH talk about it to other people interested in signing up. Officers make pretty good money...we live comfortably on just DH's income.
It's a big decision..and I would discuss the pros and cons THOROUGHLY...military is a lifestyle..not just a job.
