Opportunity Costs of the PhD: The Problem of Time to Degree | The Trend
The road to a PhD in a humanities discipline is long—for graduates who completed degrees in 2012, 9.0 years long, the median time from first entry into graduate school to receipt of the degree (Doctorate Recipients, table 31). That nine-year median is not just long in itself; it is significantly longer than the median for 2012 graduates in social sciences (7.7 years), life sciences (6.9 years), physical sciences (6.7 years), and engineering...
I have already chosen a program with Trident University, but thank you. I am just wondering how other people have done it with work, family, and military responsibilities.
Thank you

I'd look for the best universities that have that programs, and then see where their faculty went to school. That can help you find the most reputable programs.

I have rephrased the question and added a bit of a description. Hopefully that mitigates any confusion. Sorry about that Sir.
Thank you
Regarding your starting into a program, I'd recommend pulling out and refreshing every single time management skill that you have ever developed. It will be a challenge juggling all of those balls. At least I had the luxury of the military sending me off to school for my PhD. So, school was my full-time job. Make sure to pace yourself. The PhD process is a very long and grinding path. View this as a journey ("learning"), rather than being a destination ("a credential"). I'd also recommend trying to narrow down your focus as early as possible in the process. That will help you get a head start on the dissertation. Their concentrations can help you narrow the focus somewhat, but you'll need even more focus for when you start into your dissertation stage. Looking at the research interests of Educational Leadership faculty at other institutions can be helpful. Keeping up with the current research in the academic journals is also helpful. With an early start on narrowing down your dissertation ideas, you can actually have quite a bit of the dissertation stage knocked out before you even start into it (e.g. knowledge of previous research, availability of data, current hot-button topics, potential dissertation committee members to target, etc.).
Best of luck to you.
Thank you that helps out a lot. I've got an Idea of what I want my dissertation to be. I want to look into the educational and study habits of previous generations compared to the present generation. It has seemed through my experience that our current generation can not learn, nor retain, the way that the generations before us could. My academic advisor that I have had contact with thought it was a great topic, but she will also not be the one on the board from what she tells me.
Thank you
You might find this useful, esp for the forum pages, it's not all-inclusive, it doesn't include Army WOCS or any of the direct commission indoc OIS type programs, however, it does cover the five main OCS programs in considerable depth....

Look at these as well, you'll find more references to the whole enlisted/NCO thing at AFIT on here, I'm unsure if these are about the USAF or Army NCO, you'd need to look through them, trust me, I definitely did see them....

I also stumbled across this one, though it's apparently unrelated to those I'd already mentioned, you might care to ask about whether you might be able to submit for this, I don't have a clue if Army can go for it, however, you've got nothing to lose be at least just asking, you know?
