Didn't have this kinda stuff when I was in

When I was in the Army in the mid-80s, they had CLEP. (Probably had DANTES, too, but, if so, I probably would have figured that they were tests about military stuff.) While I never took any exams while in the Army (my loss), I did take all 5 general CLEPs while on terminal leave. (Thirty credits in two days of testing!) I don't know about you, but during in-processing at each duty station all of the education office stuff sort of slid by me. In addition, I never had NCOs above me who pushed that sort of thing. For all of you NCOs out there, I hope that you're pushing - yes, pushing - your lower enlisted to take advantage of the opportunities that the military offers. While VEAP might not have been great, I used it. Any problems with it were more on my side than on the military's.
