In your opinion, how important is the enrollment and active participation in civilian education while you are serving?

I would loved to have gone to college classes; however, as an infantryman, it was nearly impossible. I sometimes envied those who stayed out of the field because they had that advantage. When I discharged, I got my degrees, so all worked out well for me.

I believe that it depends on one's own personal goals for their career. There are many benefits to enrolling in civilian education such as points for promotion, gained knowledge, credentialing. If one does not plan to make a long term career out of the military, then it behoves them to have some kind education to fall back on. I think education is always a step in the right direction and shows initiative to one's own personal and professional development. Just my 2 cent.

My education, college through the Dept. of the Navy and a trade school in ultrasound imaging, show I can complete a required task. That helps when being reviewed for increased responsibility.
Here on RP, a better understanding on the written word helps me get my thoughts across to others. I am always trying to improve my ability to write the English sentence. It is a hard thing to do.
Have a good evening CW2.
