How many college classes you think is easy to manage during a semester while serving?

Full time or part time. You may also have to maintain full time status. For most colleges that is 12 credits .... 4x3credit classes.

Are you on AD? I used to take a couple at a time when I was still enlisted. When I left the Army and went back to school I started at 15 per semester, although they were all science courses with labs. During my last semester I took more hours, but they were mostly elective credits at that point that were pretty easy. If I were you I would start on the lower side and add classes down the line if you can manage.

SGT (Join to see) Start out with two or three classes the first semester and see how it goes. it also depends on how hard the classes are and if there are labs, plus how many hours you can take and also maintain your Army commitment. After I was discharged, I worked shift work (42 hours a week) and managed to take 12 hours a semester. I obtained my degree in five and a half years.

Depends on you. How fast do you read, how well do you retain what you read.

As a guy who has around 150 credit hours.... I'd say take 12. If you take a really hard class, balance it with an elective such as weight lifting or golf. Use the electives wisely.

If you are using TA, start with one class (somewhere around 3CH) and just work your way up from there. If the one course is cake then try two the next semester, so on and so forth. See what you can handle. I took two courses one semester while I was in and it wasn't too bad.

I would think that depends on your duty station and duty schedule. If you are stateside or anywhere that lets you work a regular and predictable schedule, I might try a couple of the easier classes to start just to see how much of my time it took up.

Three to four credit hours is enough IMO. Should allow you to study adequately and make a good grade.

It all differs through out the years. I was an instructor when I first started my academic plan and it was pretty easy to take on multiple classes simultaneously. Once I went back to Group and started deploying, I was barely hanging on to one class. If you have some "manageable" time, you have to take advantage. The mission changes all the time but you have to stay committed.

Also, I saw you mentioned flight ops, I'm assuming you might want that, or be in that, so look at the Army WOC high school to flight school program, I've heard WOCS is a really rough program, however, being as it'd only need high school, you might consider submitting a packet. You can also try interservice to USAF for UAV or drone enlisted pilot, I'd read USAF was thinking about enlisted pilots, though I think that went nowhere, however, drone/UAV pilot might be worth your looking at, OK? Also, of you're flight ops, are you FAA airframe and powerplant licensed? Would you want to be? Would it interest you, give it thought, OK? If you've got a military aero club near you, would you want to go private plot? Instrument rating? Multiengine? Com!ericoal? Helicopter private pilot till you could go Army helicopters? I'm just trying to give you thoughts, OK?
