If you plan on serving just one six-year enlistment or making the Army your career, as a non-commissioned officer (NCO) you will attend different leadership schools when you attain various ranks throughout your time in the Army, including:

If you have at least two years of college and are an Army enlisted soldier with at least two years of service, the Army has a program where your job for up to 24 consecutive months is going to school. The Green-to-Gold (G2G) Active Duty Option lets you either finish your bachelor’s degree or if you already have your four-year degree, earn a master’s degree. What’s the catch? You have to agree that once you receive your degree, you will accept a commission as an Army Officer.

Q: I heard about a program where I would not get deployed while I’m going to college. Is there such a Program? Andrea
 
A: Actually Andrea there is, but it does have some limitations. The program is called Education Career Stabilization (ECS) and is found in the Army Reserve.
 

No I didn't misspell the word "pays." It's an acronym for a new Army program called the Partnership for Youth Success. The program is an agreement between the Army and several civilian corporations. This is how it works.

As Congress keeps looking for ways to cut the budget, one Department of Defense (DoD) program that keeps coming up for review is the Federal Tuition Assistance Program – a popular program used by servicemembers to pay for post-secondary education classes taken in their off-duty time.
 

The Soldier’s Creed is something you will learn (and be able to recite from memory) once you get are in Basic Combat Training. For many new soldiers, they are so focused on knowing the words (so they don’t have to drop and do pushups), they don’t truly understand the meaning of their recitation. So what do the words really mean?
 

Do you like to work with your hands? If so, the Army has thousands of jobs to choose from. While some of the jobs are more exciting than others, others have limited potential in the civilian job market. So, if you are thinking about enlisting, why not enlist in a Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) that trains you for a great profession in the skilled trades after you get out of the Army?
 

Q: If I enlist, what education programs does the Army have for me?
 
A: The Army values education. With the complex equipment in today’s Army inventory, they must have educated soldiers. And to that end, the Army created several education programs and benefits to assist soldiers in getting their degree during their off-duty time while at the same time still serving their country.
 
Education Benefits for Soldiers
While serving in the Army, you have some key educational benefits available to you, such as:

Another September 11th past this month; this one being the 10th anniversary of that terrible event none of us will ever forget. Since that day in 2001, thousands of men and women have enlisted in the Army, as well as the other sister services, as a patriotic way of helping our country prevent that attack from ever happening again. 
 

Q: It’s my understanding that some adjustments to the old MyCAA program will be happening soon. What exactly is changing? How do spouses get the maximum benefit?
