Joint Qualification for TPUs? Any tips?

This question is really aimed at field grades, but anyone with experience or knowledge is welcome to chime in.<div><br></div><div>I was active duty for a number of years then left to pursue further education / civilian career, but I'm still committed to my military career as a TPU reservist. I recently pinned on O-4, and I know that Joint Qualification is a fairly big deal for career progression and overall quality of experience among all officers, active and reserve.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm finishing ILE-CC (via DL), and I plan to have my AOC complete by the end of 2014. My aim is to get AJPME knocked out in the next year or two after that (is that a good idea?). Otherwise, have any of you guys completed any of your joint experience or otherwise efficiently? I know a lot of officers who were able to knock it out while deployed, but that's not as much of an option nowadays due to the drawdown in OEF.</div><div><br></div><div>Would love to hear any of your thoughts, as I think this applies to officers other than me (and junior officers coming up).</div>
