I am looking to maximize my potential and promotion points. I want to do correspondence courses, I am having an issue trying to find some to do as a 31E.

Yes. Look at the weekly posts from others on this subject using the search bar.

Yes, they do. Perhaps you might be able to take a few from the sister services as well, like I did during my younger years!

Any course mostly. I did a bunch that had nothing to do with my MOS.

The majority of the moneymaker correspondence courses (Dental Specialist, Operating Room Specialist, Practical Nurse Specialist, pretty much any AMEDD course, etc.) have moved to Blackboard. You'll register for them through ATRRS, then they will become available under the "courses" tab of your blackboard portal within 48 hours. The ones I did most recently were the Practical Nurse Sustainment course and the Operating Room Specialist course. That'll give you about 265 hours. I think the other one I did was the dental specialist back when I was a private. Other than that, you can knock out courses on JKO. I like it because you can sort by which ones count for points. Remember 5 hours = 1 promotion point, so it's in your best interest to knock out as many long ones as you can. Many of them have portions where you can test out and not have to sit through the coursework. Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions!
