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

With all your other obligations, why not try a fewer amount. See what you can accommodate. Remember if you haven't been in a classroom in awhile, you may need more time. Also, depending on the course, some of the earlier classes are easier. I would start small and go bigger, that way, you aren't setting yourself up for failure by taking too many and not being able to complete. Also, keep your advisors up to speed of all your other stuff so they can help in advance. Best of luck to you!

Depends on your rate/mos and schedule. I go to UMUC and they break the semester into quarters, So I can take 2 classes in the first quarter and 2 in the fourth maintaining 12 credits while only taking 6 at any given time.

Its all online so I work on classes after the work day (firemans schedule) and it doesn't take a whole lot away from my home life. I would also think a lot of the course load has to do with what classes you plan to take. For me, I am very weak with math... so when I take Statistics I will make sure that is the only course o focus on for that part of the semester.

Good luck!

Look up Community College of the AF (CCAF), I've been told only USAF can use it, however I've read about efforts to open it to other svcs, I've always wondered whether it can be used by enlisted in other svcs, generally one needs a valid USAF AFSC, not an Army MOS, however, just ask, I'd be curious if it'd be allowed you k ow?

Look up the college level exam program (CLEP), look up the graduate record exam (GRE) subject tests, those can save you a whole lot of time, though the subject tests, not the general test, are rough, really rough, that's why you can get 24 or 30 pass fail credits for a passing raw score, not percentile, though CalEPs are easier, though few credits per exam, OK?

Look up DANTES, look up the Amer Council on Educ (ACE) military off, get your military transcript, unofficial and officials in presealed envelopes I know they do them, I'm just not sure how, OK?

And also, do you want to try for an academy? A military college incl the maritime colleges? Am ROTC? USMC platoon leaders course (PLC)?if clinical, would you want USPHS COSTEP, the USPHS analogue to an ROTC or USMC PLC? Would you want USCG MARGRAD PR a USCG scholarship? Would you want flight, like Army WOCS flight for helicopters that only needs high school? Which other svcs would you consider if a chance came tour way, that's why I asked about going interservice, OK? Think about all those things, also, I'll try to send you some sites that'd be worth your time to look through, OK?
