<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are a lot of things that are similar to the old system that we had used before. This new system is harder for the soldiers that have been deployed multiple times. However we are moving out of that time and more into a garrison time fewer young soldiers will of had deployments. I think that once Solders have time to adjust to the new system it will work out just fine. Some Solders will feel some pain in the change. I am happy that there are more points for college now, but I am sad that they took away the deployment points completely.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sounds good! More knowledge you have the more you can teach someone else! But my question is this , why do they say we have no money for schools but want us to have that knowledge?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A peacetime Army is an "educated" Army. In a wartime Army, well, we just need bodies to fill slots. Not as bad as in WWII or Korea when you had 20 year old Master Sergeants, but the GWOT Army has let the 90's standards slide just a teeny bit. I just think it is funny that people see this as a new thing when in fact it is a normal ebb and flow that can be traced back to the post WWII era.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't think the Army can support the military education requirement. My MOS had ALC backlogs for years due to being a star MOS. Now our points are at 798, and according to the ACT tracker less than 8% of E-6s have ALC and less than 4% of E-5s. So now we have 92% of all E-6s that NEED to take ALC to retain their rank, as well as 96% of E-5s who have any interested in getting promoted. I just don't see how ALC for my MOS can support the amount of personnel that need to take the course with the current amount of class offerings. They will need to invest a lot more resources and personnel into NCOES to make this happen with any degree of efficiency.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe the military should look at the fact, that people that were deployed had first hand training on combat, and survival, more than they would learn from military education. If anything these people could give the classes on the subject. My DI's were Vietnam vets and we learned a lot more from them then from a manual.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Army can't afford more military schools. Hell, they can't even get soldiers MOSQ. What the Army wants and gets are completely different. More time in schools means less time training, managing, working, and more time away from families. They have raised requirements every period between major operations, resulting in mass exodus and loss of experiential knowledge. With tensions so high in the world, the demand for war veterans sharing their knowledge is high. We are not in peace time....

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The army needs more educated personal. the problem with promotion is that must of the Army Schools that give Promotion points you can't get; Why? because cost Money... Me bean 13 years in the Army must of my Point are max... but were i fail is Army Education... 14 pts. (10 CLS and 4 Generator Operator)... that is all. All Reserves and previous schools don't give promotion point any more.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If the Army wants NCOs with more military education, they need to prioritize funding for resident courses and major training events instead of treating military education as an afterthought like they do now.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This sucks for a reservist. There's always budget constraints and slotting issues.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think this is a great idea! Give the leader more insight on the military style on how things need to be done to keep their teams proficient and able to go to combat.
