Does anyone here know about base education centers?
I'm proposing to write a short piece for Military Times about preparing for and taking the SAT while still on duty.
I know some servicemembers use DOD Tuition Assistance (TA) and that's good, but they should be studying for and taking entrance exams before they use any TA.
I believe that education centers offer the SAT for free, and they often have test prep books. Mike Cubbage mentions this in his book on using the GI Bill.
I'm not sure what other resources education centers have or whether some bases do not have education centers. I'm also not sure what resources Guard and Reserves have, although I do know they offer free tuition as an incentive.
My only problem is in making contact with education centers on military installations, which should be a central part of the story.

My experience with the education center at Fort Riley was great. I can give you the contact that was a huge part of helping me finish credits for the commissioning program I am currently in. Keep in mind though, that the education center is there with many resources, but the SM has to do more leg work when they hit small setbacks, as well as working with units to support their Soldiers reaching their goals.
