Capt (Join to see) - Just about all of them don't let you just click through anymore. They make you take the allotted. After the cheating scandal a long time ago they addressed that. But it just goes to show how some are so readily to jump on an Officer just because they don't like officers.

The simple answer is, put in the work. There is however, a smarter way to do that. Follow the Army.skillport link to get those correspondence classes done. https://usarmy.skillport.com

SSG Pamela Smejkal - SSG - your attitude is completely wrong, and how dare you try to chastise 1LT Rosa for his answer. If the SPC was serious about promotion, he'd be putting in the work to increase points, not asking for a quick-fix to make cut off he's apparently not even close to.

Defense distribution management is over 150 hours and that's your best bet. Hit me up.

SPC (Join to see) Yes, it's on alms. I don't remember if there is a wait time but it would not be more than 24 hours after self registration.

In much the same way one gets to Carnegie Hall: Practice, practice, practice. But seriously, are you maxed out for PT and Weapons Qual points? Those are usually east to get as long as you want to put in the effort. Instead of correspondence courses how about enrolling in some college classes either on post or through one of the many college who offer distance learning programs? Whatever you decide to do don't look at the quick easy route unless it contributes to your development as a leader.

Try courses for different MOS. The chaplain assistant training course is easy and that was my MOS. while I was in I also did the AFATDS training as well.

I understand this is an old post but incase anyone reads through it again, Practical Nurse ASI Sust, Special Operations Med Sgt Sust, and Special Operations Med Sgt Prep contain a lot of the same subcourses. There are only 3 or 4 different subcourses between the 68C sust and 18D prep. Basically you get 274 hours for around 160 hours of courses. Almost all of the healthcare courses have over lap. Its a great way to max out your points quickly.

Buy a CAC card reader, invest in a mouse if you have a laptop and click your weekend away.

Skillport is a great site and all the classes will count. They have a wide range of topics so you can play to your strengths. And yes, if you pay attention to how the site is structured then you will find the loop hole on how to blaze through all the hours you could want.

Yes, it will guide you to several links. If you take ALMS or JKO courses ensure they are distance learning (DL). ALMS course for (DL) you must first sign up for the course through Atarrs the code is 553. Once you register for the course. It will be upload to ALMS in 12-24 hours. Also those courses are worth college credits. JKO is pretty straight forward. Just click and search for (DL) and everything will be displayed for you. If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask. Supporting Victory! & Train the Force!

The correspondence courses listed on this website will be on your Joint Service Transcript when you transition out of the military as college credit: https://www.atsc.army.mil/TADLP/accp/accp_ace_credit.asp
I recommend doing these courses as they are worth 50 or more hours each and will give you college credit. They are also way easier to learn and complete then using Army E-Learning Skillport courses.
