Educational Opportunities in the United States Army.
Gross, Steven T.; McQuay, Susan D.
This listing of educational resources provided by the U.S. Army is designed to inform counselors about available services. They will then be better equipped to help young people decide whether to enlist (or re-enlist). Counselors are warned to use the information with caution, however, since evaluative information is not available and the success or efficiency of the programs is not described. The listing includes the following programs: (1) Counseling and Testing; (2) High School Completion; (3) College Preparation; (4) College and University; (5) Vocational; and (6) Financial Assistance. It is also noted that each military base has special programs to meet the individual needs of the personnel assigned there. In most cases, education while on active duty is considered a voluntary activity, and a soldier's assigned duties may prevent him from participating in the program of his choice. The information provided should be useful to both counselor and counselee. (Author/BP)
