They are not sitting in a class room learning anything. Many NCOs are just looking to gain civilian education hours just for points. Where is the integrity of earning the degree or evaluation? I have seen several NCOs do the right thing and struggle earning the points needed for promotion. I have also seen several NCOs just pay the money for have their military training evaluated and never do anything else. I feel that this is harming the NCO Corps because the wrong NCOs are getting promoted faster. Does the Army have a policy or regulation about paying for evaluations. I have seen a MILPER message in regards to diplomas. What are your thoughts about paying and is there a regualtion, policy or new MILPER message. 2014-11-07T10:49:03-05:00 1SG(P) Private RallyPoint Member 315389

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sad. Sounds like how some online degrees work.
