Five officers per year is a total embarassment. NSA has (estimated) 40k staff, and unknown additional contractors and outsourced solution providers. NSA officers already deploy with US forces, so the only reason is to have people in your chain of command. But then they won't have access to the resources of NSA. It also seems to be a bad career track, because, being restricted duties, they could not command anything significant. The corollary is that there will never be people educated in offensive infosec making informed decisions.
