How quickly?

[Prloko]

I'll have to type out all the credits I have and what I need, but it also comes down to how many credits TESC will be accepting. With my associates I have about 65 credits. I'm planning to get my degree in Accounting or Computer Information Systems. I'm extremely motivated, my goal is to get my bachelors in either major I posted, not only so I can have my bachelors but also so I can go from being Enlisted to being an Officer. I currently serve in the United States Air Force, so all my schooling is paid for, my CLEPS/DSST's are also paid for. I work every other day, and the days I do work, after 5PM is my time, which gives me a TON of studying time. I'm currently a fire fighter and love it. I'm looking forward to the future and what is best for me, so I'd like to commission and become a 2nd Lieutenant.


I'm currently off work for two weeks. I want to take Macro/Micro through Straighterline. Is this reasonable? I have two full weeks, I can work all day on these courses. Is it realistic I can finish both?

OTS and SOAR is extremely competitive and with the current sequestration talks and drawdown, it will be even harder. We just had an Airman who already had his bachelors coming in get turned down for OTS. If your GPA is low, you will need to take actual classes to bring it up. Also, use a lot of that extra time you have volunteering and doing extra to make those bullets shine. Also, remember you are applying to become a full time leader, so leadership bullets will be paramount. Volunteer bullets that say "cleaned park" or "first four member" are pretty weak when it comes for officer packages. You need to have bullets like "first fours/5-6 president", "led volunteer effort" "organized meal for veterans", etc.

Also, degrees in CIS and accounting at TESC is going to take longer because there aren't many exams available for those courses.

Good luck Airmen (big A), use your deployment to do some great things.
