I’m shipping out next year and I just wanna know if I’m already in the navy serving 2 years, would the chain of command let me finish my associate’s degree in nursing? I’m just a year short of finishing my degree…
I’m applying for corpman and also for A school
It’s possible I got my Bachelors while in the Air force
You could use the Tuition Assistance to take up to 16 credit hours per year or $4500 a year but what you can take will depend on what command you are with. Some commands will not have a problem with it because they have everything there, but other commands it can be very limited as there is no internet access while underway You also have to complete qualifications, etc….
yeah. but whats you rate? If your going to be a corman, you’ll get college credits from your “A” school.
yes you get 4500 a year for college while on active duty
a good chance? No. a chance? maybe. you would NOT be permitted to attend college course until you hit the Fleet.. so not at all during Boot and A school. Once you report to your first duty station( usually a hospital for a Quad Zero HM) you still have to get permission. most will NOT grant it until you have qualified in your position at work.
I finished my A.S., a B.S. and a M.A.
All while serving on active duty in the Navy.
