Basically I am asking the question of how do I serve in the military and still meet any goals that I have set and am working towards in the civilain world. One of those is not leaving Georgai as my state of residence. The other is getting into some schooling after I enter the Marines.
Just looking for constructive thoughts or suggestions,all of which will be appreciated. |
The answer is as simple as it is complex.
Every military branch offers college courses that you can take. It takes a commitment on your part to try to find the time to study, do the work assigned and get your papers in on a timely basis. On top of that, if you want to attend a college after you get out, then you need to apply for the Montgomery (sp) program (I think), and start putting money into the program. I believe the military will match your money so you can see that you could have the money to then attain a Masters in whatever line you were pursuing. To make sure that my information is still current, check with your Personnel Officer or with your Career Officer.
Bottom line: You can do just about whatever you want,
{as far as pursuing an education}.
