After I am done with the Air Force I would like to finish my Bachelor's in Mathematics, possibly with the end goal of being an Actuary. I noticed that TESC only has a BA option. Do you think it would be wise to look elsewhere for a college that offers a BS, or does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?
I researched actuarial science years ago, and the most important thing in that field is the exams The key is THE EXAMS. But I think having a mathematics degree with a good school will help you in this field. As long as you have the right mix of math and business courses you should do well.
Vist the Society of Actuaries website. They have past exams you can view to see what you need to study and also suggested courses of study. good luck.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
