Market a 24-month program matrix to Air Force and Army officers. Ongoing efforts with USAF include primarily the Advanced Academic Degree (AAD) Program Col Karl Eager (ret.), intends to continue to send at least 50% of their AAD officers to NPS AFIT continues to provide for the remainder Looking into re-instituting the Joint Space Academic Group (JSAG) The Army continues to support NPS Now have MILFAC from USA Primary interest is in SSO but some students do opt for SSE Action Item Update 8

Market a 12-month degree matrix to Defense Contractors and NASA employees. Fine tuning a 12-month program This program will not satisfy P-Code requirements Will include a thesis Boeing continues to support with one student per year Beginning discussions with NASA and other contractors: Our NASA chair as well as guest speakers Contacts at NGC and Lockheed Can always use more POCs who can make the decision to send us students Action Item Update 9
