I honestly hope it won't take that long. They will likely take a few months to hammer out the details for renewal, but they'd likely hammer out DACA stuff at the same time. Honestly, only concern here being that Army might refuse to just take us, but they seem to be rather enthusiastic about MAVNI.
US citizens don't like the Army since that's the crappiest branch to enlist into (since you get shipped to Afghanistan, or Iraq, or somewhere where the asphalt melts and everyone wants to shoot you), for that reason it is also the easiest one to get into (they only require a 35 on the entry test for non-MAVNI enlistees, a score that an average dog could score with training). If you can score the 50 that's required to go anywhere else most will go anywhere else that's recruiting because the paygrades are exactly the same between branches (you start as an E-1 or E-4, depending if you start as a private, or if you already have a 4 year degree and start as specialist).
