At my command I've given training on the military college education system. I've broken down tuition assistance, PACE courses, CLEP, DSST, Excelsior exams, TECEP, DLPT, GRE subject exams, FEMA, NFA online courses, and rating certifications through Navy COOL. I'm amazed at how uninformed a lot of these guys are. Its not really a failure in the chain of command because a lot of the guys I help out with college are E-7 or higher. A lot of them have signed up at Excelsior, TESC, or Charter Oak. More have just used CLEP tests to shorten their time in schools like Saint Leo, Embry Riddle, or Troy State. They listen to me because I've actually earned my degree. So have you. Why not see about giving training on all the various options open to the military?

Besides, its really fun to tell a Master Chief to shut up and listen when I'm talking about college....
