Asp Wrote:I heard eisly college is a great place to enroll and test out quick into a degree. I've been researching alot and this forum is the best info so far. How do I get started. I'd like grab up a degree asap. I leave to boot camp at the end of nov. Army medic. I need a degree to move into officers training so I can go to school full time and become a nurse. I have almost 0 credits right now. Making rank means feeding the fam. I'm almost 31 with a beautiful family. The upside is I ran 15mi and did 720 pushups and situps the last 2 days so I'll survive. I'll probable go directly to afgani after training so I have about a year to get it done(college) so I can bring home the bacon. Have a very blessed week. Please teach me the ways of the jedi! I have by fsfa loan stuff completed and it covers books fulltime also. I live in las vegas currently and I've taken 2 classes from south university online in the past.

ASP, if you are in a hurry I would really look into FEMA and NFA credit. If you have lots of time you can complete one or two every day, you will just have to sit down and power through them. You can get about half your A.S. from excelsior this way. Best part, it's free (there is a fee if you want to use EC but through TESC is free). There is a ton of info on this forum about it.
