So, My command team tells me that if they need me too, I must stay extra long hours to work. But in doing so, My school work is suffering. I know I read somewhere that the army places great emphasis on those in college and that my command is required to give me more than enough time to do the work. Is this true, and if so, where can I find a regulation or SOP for it to give to my command team.

You can also submit for USMMA Kings Point, USCGA in Groton, Cat, VMI where my best friend in USAF was AFROTzc, the Citadel, the maritime colleges which are all state schools, for the most part, the junior military colleges as well, and he ROTC programs in any service...consider also Army WOCS for rotary wing flight, it needs only high school, silly to not try for it as well, OK? There are articles and Wikipedia pages on all of them, I've sent them all in many times...look up also USMC Platoon Leaders Course (PLC), little known, and if you want enguneering, IT, or clinical, USPHS Jr and Sr COSTEP, am analogue of ROTC and PLC, you do NOT need to stay strictly Army, when I was USAFmOTS after Army ROTC, we had many OTs there from other svcs as prior enlisted, I wasn't prior enlisted, you are, or would be, tour have a far easier time adjusting, trust me....

Look at every version these people have, problem solvers, essentials series, review charts, all of it, trust me, they're well worth the costmamd complement the Schaum's: material....

Also, is tour major related to your work or not? I realize it might not he, it:s just that unit staff are likely to be more sympathetic if it were...and, reme!her, you can work and drive, drive and go to school, or go to school and work, but not even Superman in a BG red cape can work, drce, and go to school constantly without burning out, if you burn the candle at both ends, you're gonna fall down at work, and have more aggravation...if tour installation has a program physically closer, trees a lot to be said for physical convenience for school, trust me, BTDT, OK?

Sorry, hit enter by mistake...major? Assocs? Bach? GPA now? What was it before problem? Grades? STEM? Non-STEM? Are you aiming for senior enlisted? Warrant? Commissioned? Flight interests? Family stuff in the way at all? Next, have you spoken with any of the chaplains on your installation? Understand, OK? If they need you, they need you, there's no getting around that, I had coursework with exams while in, often being made to stay till 3 am quite frequently, only to be screamed at as àn idiot the next day, so trust me, been there, done that (BTDT). Is it online at all? On installation? Off installation? How far along are you in the program? Can you go to your faculty, advisor, chair, deans, provosts, and explain, get an incomplete, as well as more time to prep? School isn't supposed to be easy, at the same time I:0:s not intended to be torture...many schools have drop rules tat if you have to drop, whether by a drop deadline date, or, in the case of documented personal hardship or stress, you can often repeat a course, the same course, the next time given, at no cost, if you already paid once...if the svc paid, then you need to go to your educ ctr, and speak with them, or ask the chaplains to do it, they deal explicitly with such problem, also long as you're making a good faith effort, performing well otherwise, in the main, OK? Also, of you elaborate on what coursework explicitly you're doing I might be able to suggest review texts or videos tat might seriously help, I do know a good deal about such aspects, I spent a long, long time in academia, for undergrad and grad...next, have you tried for ROTC? Green to gold? SMP? Academies or their prep schools? The maritime colleges? VMI? The Citadel? If you seriously elaborate more, I might be able to suggest more, or others could, possibly...and for God's sake go to the chaplains, and expressly tell them what you're going through, the have avenues you don't, I mean, trees a limit to how many times you can draw water from their well, you know, but if you need time off for exam prep, within reason, it's part of their function to at least lend a sympathetic ear, and at least try to help...you've gotta be judicious about it, appearance demeanor, behavior impeccable, PT perfect, tour PME for promotability all done also, however, if you genuinely need help, your school vet office rep is at least supposed to be able to help go to your faculty or installation educ off as a go between, I should think, as well. Sit down, write a serious letter to your department, to your advisor, chair, dean, and provost, detailing and explaining everytging in depth, they'll have tour grades, and say who's paying for it? Is it a state school? Private? High tuition? Low? You need to tell is a whole lot more, and for God's sake, be detailed, not just a couple of brief comments here, OK? If you seriously need help, we need info...also, look at the Schaum's outlines and REA Problem Solvers in the school bookstore, or through any good bookstore, e.g., Barnes and Noble, I'll try to send you the links, there are sevl different versions of REA review material, the Schaum's and REA staff are staples of college review...I can also possibly suggest video review material as well...how many hours do you study a night? Generally, as a rule of thumb, any serious topic needs three to one, 3 hrs for every class hour, OK? Minimum, seriously...next, how do you take and organize tour notes? Do you take adequate notes? Can you videotape lectures? Some places already videotape ten for you in a library archive, ask, OK? Some faculty will understand, you may need to ask an advisor to speak with them, or your chair, dean, or proviost...also, join Student Veterans of America, as well, or see if trees a chapter by you anywhere, at tour school or elsewhere...finally, you might nenefotmfrom a study group, sharing taking notes, or maybe if not videotaping, possibly audiotaping lectures, at the very least...give !e your thoughts and elaboration, I'd be most eager to hear more...if you want to chat, I'm here, OK? Look up also a video series for undergrads with a weird ma!e, TheStandard Deviants, it's been around for years, the ma!e is a play on words from statistics, heyve got basically most undergrad topics in relatively cheap videos, I got tjem on VHS, however, I know they're out now on DVD, probably Blue Ray or some other !medium, also, OK? Send word about whether you think all that hjelps, and reme!her, details, OK?
