I'm currently in the reserve equivalent of Joint Forces Staff College (Joint PME, which you forgot to add, typically is about three months for an O-4 or O-5).

Also, don't forget about such resources as the National War College, Industrial College of the Armed Forces and the Army War College. The goal is turn our LTCs from branch specific guys to "joint" guys. See: Peter Pace, Peter Schoomaker, etc. All those guys have been those schools, and all are now Generals who understand the full complement of working with all 4 forces. Goldwater-Nickles in 1986 is alive and well. I wouldn't be surprised to see a form of that applied to our senior level government workers in the near future as well. Correct.

Chris: Actually, DOD civilians already attend many of those courses and, indeed, have for years. And agreed on the jointness--that's why I listed "Senior Service School" rather than "Army War College."
