The Air Force can be the initial platform of a lifelong career
pathway for individuals interested in serving one contract or those
who stay on active-duty for a full career. The education and
certification options available to airmen can enhance the career
viability of those who choose to take advantage of the benefits,
but learning about and navigating the possibilities can be
difficult. From the Air Force to College: Transitioning from the

civilian sector. This book serves as the go-to guide for those who
actively seek opportunities to further develop their education and
improve their current and future career prospects. The Air Force

and veterans' benefits is challenging. Incorrect choices can mean
extended periods of time backtracking later on or running out of
payment options.

will support soldiers throughout their higher education or
