Haha, it wouldn't take you so long to get promoted if you'd join the army. I'm a five year E-6 and still spent two years in the reserves before going active, though I'm in a notoriously quick promoting MOS. But still, get as much specialized training as you can before you commission, especially if your current MOS is related to the branch you want to get into as an officer. (I'm sure you've heard this about a billion times before, but I couldn't help it.) Oh, and I like the way your mentor thinks. :D

Woooow the Army promotes fast. I'm almost seven years in, and I can FINALLY test for E-6. I'm medical, how about you two Army folks?
