That's a nasty little secret about military tuition assistance. If you want or need a class outside of your specific degree plan filed with goArmyed you are out of luck on getting the Army to pay. The only other options are to use your G.I.Bill or pay out of pocket.
Wow, I am glad it isn't like that with the other services. We are allowed to take any course we want, anytime. As long as it equates to credit and isn't a technical job type course, we are good to go up to our $4500. I wouldn't see why it would be different for the Army, but if it is, sucks for you.
But don't say that it is a nasty secret for MILITARY tuition assistance, because it isn't. I guess that is the Army's dirty little secret.
