From the Navy to College: Transitioning from the Service to Higher
Education is an education and career reference guide for Sailors
looking to join the Navy, already on active duty, or transitioning
into the civilian sector. Serving as a long-term support guide for
Sailors seeking further education and training, this book will
enable Sailors hoping to pursue higher education and vocational
training to navigate and understand all possible options. From
getting started to degree completion, all available funding
resources to help cover costs and Navy-based program options are
detailed for the reader in order to assist throughout the course of
an individual's chosen path. The Navy offers numerous programs for
its service members while on active duty, but very few sailors are
aware of the variety of those options or how to take advantage of
them. No Navy manual exists that details these programs, outlines
eligibility parameters, or describes the admissions process. From
the Navy to College aims to correct this problem by disseminating
the needed information in one easily accessible reference. Arming
readers with the tools for success, this work is a necessary
resource for all Sailors and Navy counseling personnel.
Service members find that transitioning from active duty into the
civilian sector can be abrupt, with mission demands leaving little
time to prepare for new careers. Transitioning without guidance,
resources, and proven strategies has left thousands of veterans
sitting on the sidelines of civilian employment. Business is a
diverse field, with many subcategories to pursue and many routes
available to fulfill career goals and achieve success. Designed to
help personalize the experience while guiding readers through the
breadth of available options, those interested in pursuing a career
within the business realm or as a business owner will find Boots to
Business to be a valuable reference guide. Whether new to a career
field or pursuing a civilian career similar to the occupational
specialty you held in the military, this book offers helpful
information for planning, preparing, and executing your transition.
Military spouse education is an often overlooked topic. With the
proliferation of service member programs and benefits, and the
spotlight on them, it is not uncommon for spouses to neglect
looking into their own educational opportunities and benefits. The
hectic life of a military family also often complicates the process
of attending an institution of higher education, for spouses. There
are numerous programs and benefits that a spouse may have access
to, but they are difficult to find and navigate properly. Balancing
Life and Education While Being a Part of a Military Family: A Guide
to Navigating Higher Education for the Military Spouse attempts to
highlight these possibilities and inform and assure this population
that attaining an education is possible regardless of location or
current circumstances. Numerous programs and benefits are
described, as well as the best way to go about using them. Detailed
instructions are illustrated to make the process of obtaining an
education easier and to give spouses more confidence in pursing
their own education. In addition, the specific considerations of
military family life are addressed along with these instructions.
Education is really important, and a lot of times military spouses
aren't aware of the opportunities and resources available to them
to pursue it. The authors of From the Navy to College:
Transitioning from the Service to Higher Education and From the
Army to College: Transitioning from the Service to Higher Education
have put together a clear guidebook will make the process easy,
accessible, and understandable. They offer clear advice and
information about resources available to spouses of service
members, creating a go-to guide for pursuing higher education.
