Army Promotion Points
Are you consistently coming in under the cut-off score for promotion? Do you know you can earn up to 100 Army promotion points in the civilian education category? If this is an area where you have little or no points, consider enrolling now. Not only will you gain promotion points, but you can get your degree while still serving and let the Army pay for most of your college.s
Paying For College
Today, investing in your future while still serving cost you little to nothing. To have almost no out-of-pocket costs, consider using your military education benefits of:
- Tuition assistance
- The G.I. Bills
- Soldier scholarships
The Online Option To Military Advancement
No longer do you have to go to class to learn. Most accredited colleges offer online options where you can learn when you have the time as long as you have Internet access. By having the Army pay for your college, you get Army promotion points and have a degree once you decide to get out. Don't delay - enroll today.
Navy Final Multiple Score
In line with the Navy's continued emphasis on education, you now can get two points for an associate's degree and four points for a bachelor's degree on your E4 to E6 Final Multiple Score (FMS). The FMS for the top three enlisted grades do not include civilian education points, but those grades do receive favorable recommendations for holding a degree. The Navy recognizes the importance of civilian education in teaching the critical thinking skills required for the future fighting force. By adding Navy promotion points for education to the FMS, the Navy encourages sailors to continue their education while still serving.
The Masters of Business Administration (MBA) And Commissioning
If you are enlisted and are considering going the officer route, earning an MBA first can help you achieve your goal faster. Entrusted with expensive resources, military officers need an MBA to properly manage these assets. By already having your MBA before applying for a commission, you show you already have the initiative and training required to manage the resources under your future control.
PhDs and Military Advancement of Officers
The Department of Defense (DoD) created a policy in 2008 where it now funds either in part, or in whole, graduate education programs for all uniformed military officers. The DOD recognizes military officers with graduate degrees in certain disciplines will fill the anticipated shortage. The DOD also directed that military officers can pursue their civilian education goal in a partially funded program for up to 12 months without being assigned to a designated billet.
Of course the goal of all of these programs is keeping you in uniform and creating a future fighting force that is second to none. Use your military education benefits to help both you and the military succeed.
