<p>Our daughter is just finishing her 2nd year as an enlisted sailor. Now she tells us she wants to go for a "paid administrative leave" so she can attend college next fall (which would start just shy of finishing her 3rd year in the Navy). Her details are nebulous to us parents.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any advice/clarification on what options sailors have BEFORE their contract is up as far as taking time out to start college and then hopefully enter the officer track?</p>

My son has just started A school in Pensacola Flordia and I would like to fly him to our grandparents house in North Carolina where we will be visiting during the 4th of July break. Do they get to leave A School during holiday weekends? I can't find any information about it, any help would be appreciated. He is only in phase 1 but he should be in phase 2 during that weekend. Also how long do the get for the 4th of July break usually?

<p>Hi there!</p>
<p>My husband is currently in bootcamp, and then will be at A school for ACEF, leaning towards ET. If he goes ET I was going to move to Chicago to live with him. The schooling (stated at MEPS, MEPS documents & his recruiter) say that ET school all together would be 119 weeks. I was wanting to know how he would go about living off base with me.</p>

<p>I know I have heard a billion answers from a billion different people, but I am positive that I want to live with him due personal situations. I just need to know whether or not that is possible due to liberty and all that jazz!</p>

<p>I am with the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and I work for STEM in 30, a TV show geared at middle school students. I thought users of this forum might be interested in tomorrow's show we’re doing about being on the USS Dwight D Eisenhower. It’ll air at 11:00am and 1:00pm. Kids will get a chance to also learn a math lesson involving the landing of a plane on a carrier. You can find more about it here:…</p>

<p></p> College classes on-linetag:navyformoms.ning.com,2017-09-22:1971797:Topic:102710592017-09-22T13:43:06.083ZMomof2https://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Jebdust
<p>My sailor is in Japan and would like to start taking college classes on line. The information he keeps getting is pushing him towards a certain college, which isn't a big deal, everyone uses it I guess. However, I wondered if it is allowed for him to take courses from our local community college on-line? He says he doesn't think so and he would not get the tuition paid.

<p>My sailor is in Japan and would like to start taking college classes on line. The information he keeps getting is pushing him towards a certain college, which isn't a big deal, everyone uses it I guess. However, I wondered if it is allowed for him to take courses from our local community college on-line? He says he doesn't think so and he would not get the tuition paid. Our state has a program that gives high school kids money for grades and ACT scores for college. It's called the KEES program. He didn't get a staggering amount of course, but even the $300 a year is better than nothing. I know he would get reimbursed anyway for his college costs but he earned this money and only has 5 years to start using it or he loses it. Am I wrong in wanting him to use this money? Would he not be allowed to? I don't see why he can't choose the college he wants instead of the one they keep forcing on him. It's just his basic classes anyway, English, Math, etc. He already has a couple of credits at this community college from classes he took in high school and I think it makes more sense to do what he can with it while he can. </p>
<p>I guess my main question is can he use the school of his choice or must he use the one they are saying he needs to? </p>

<p><em>PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- As part of the Navy's transformation to a virtual service delivery model, the Navy College Program launched an update to the My Education portal June 27, significantly improving the Web Tuition Assistance approval process for Sailors taking off-duty education courses.</em><br/> <br/> <em>"We've automated a major portion of the WebTA authorization process to improve accuracy, reduce the time it takes to complete the application, and get vouchers authorized," said Cathe Waters, Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center Voluntary Education (VOLED) lead program analyst. "Not only does the new process give commanding officers greater authority in the TA authorization process, the improvements will enable faster enrollments, grade posting, invoice payments, and make voluntary education less stressful for our Sailors."</em><br/> <br/> <em>Previously, Sailors had to wait for the Navy College staff to manually verify and authorize their WebTA applications after command approval. The new process automatically checks/validates the Academic Institution's (AI) course/tuition information, validates a Sailor's status, including degree plan, counseling, no missing grades, EAOS status, TA annual usage, etc.</em> (<a href="http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=101222" target="_blank">more</a>)</p>

When my son graduated basic it was recorded and a DVD could be purchased. Does anyone know if the same holds true for A school? He is in TX. and I'm not able to fly out for it but don't want to miss it. Maybe they live stream it? Any Help Appreciated! Thanks.
