Description: From the Navy to College is an education and career reference guide for sailors looking to join the Navy, already on active duty, or transitioning into the civilian sector. From getting started to degree completion, all available funding resources to help cover costs and Navy-based program options are detailed for the reader in order to assist throughout the course of an individual's chosen path. The Navy offers numerous programs for its service members while on active duty, but very few sailors are aware of the variety of those options or how to take advantage of them. No Navy manual exists that details these programs, outlines eligibility parameters, or describes the admissions process. From the Navy to College aims to correct this problem by disseminating the needed information in one reference guide.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-239) and index.
