When taking JKO correspondence courses for promotion points, should I focus on the courses with DL points or will any of the classes work?

I am going to start signing up for some JKO correspondence courses and wanted to know if I should be looking at the courses that have DL Points or if just andy of the classes will work. I haven't been given anything more than just that I need to start knocking them out and not to sure if there are any that would be better to take than others or what actually to look for with them.

Not sure which ones on JKO are worth points. Is there a reason why you are using JKO? Army E-learning has tons of courses that are worth cc hours. In the description of every course it lists the amount of hours one is worth. There is thousands of courses via e-learning that you can take. If you are interested, you can find the link through AKO under my education. Best of luck.

Only the courses with DL points. You can do the others but they won't help with points.

Remember that you have to complete the entire course to receive credit for the hours. Some sub courses will give you like 40 hours alone but they are not eligible until the complete course has been done.

Not sure how the JKO and points work, its been a while since I worked on my correspondence courses. I can say that I wish I would have started actual college courses then, instead of correspondence. An associates/bachelors places you ahead of your peers and it will help when you transition from active service to the civilian sector. You get $4,500 a year, get with your local education center ASAP. Good luck!

I have only ever focused on the ones that have DL points and I continuously had my correspondence hours go up on my ERB.

Focus on improving on your skill set and the points will come.
