This is the second part of the survey for NCOs. Want to know if you got a masters degree while on active duty. Doesn't matter what service. Where did you get it?

It is very telling to assume that all officers got their master's degree and ncos dont. Last I checked, an officer only needed a bachelor's degree.

Sir,
I'm currently on Active Duty and half way through my Masters on Cyber-security (Online) through Liberty University. I obtained my Associates and Bachelors using TA while I was in the 82nd and currently I'm using GI Bill to pay my Masters Degree.

It is challenging to juggle between Family, work (Special Operations/High OPTEMPO), and College. However, it is possible. My concern was answered/addressed with Army Directive 2018-09 and it was funding. With this new policy a Soldier with ALC, WOBC, and BOLC will be able to use TA for a Masters Degree.

I think you read my post in reference to Masters programs for Officers versus Enlisted, Lol
