Down the road a little, after RTC, A-School, FMTB, or whatever else "required" military training is required...I'm sure any sailor or any person would want to better their education...

Now I know that I need to be using all that TA they have to offer...but what do most sailors pick in mind of a college?

For example what should I pick if I am stationed at a hospital? Should i just stick with a community college? Should I look at completing it at a University? (See my goal is to get a bachelor's or close to one out of the way) from experience or advice which school or way should i do this?

Now lets say I am overseas...which type of Undergrad work should I look into then?

(Now my goal is to eventually attend Medical School so I really look to get a BS)

Thank you guys for the help!

a. You need to be able to look at schools in your area plus how online credits from one school would transfer to another.

b. How do your current credits apply to the school you would want?

c. if deployed, can you use Pace or online classes?

the best thing is to wait at this point until you know where you are stationed and have time to figure it out. Planning in advance is good but wasting the time to do a class and have it not transfer is worse.
