I just checked my academic evaluation and all credits have been posted to my transcript... 120 completed out of 120 needed. :-D I really couldn't be happier! My major is Political Science and the whole process from start to finish took about two years or so (mostly because I dragged my feet on the CLEP exams). This month I'll start my MA.... very happy! I'm a former homeschool student-turned Army enlisted who never had college in my future. So glad for places like TESC.... AND a word to all those still working, the end of the tunnel IS out there!

Thank you everyone! :-) I decided to go for a Master of Arts in Public Policy, offered by Liberty University online. I chose Liberty because of tuition rates, and the fact that they are a Christian school. With Liberty I can complete the MA with only about six months of the GI bill, and six months of Tuition Assistance. Then I'll have enough GI bill saved later for law school or something fun after I leave the military (if the economy tanks again).
Best of luck to everyone else in your endeavors!
