Get an Education! It's never too late.

Hi Everyone-

What do you do now that your servicemember is deployed?

Get Educated!

Getting a degree and getting an Education are two totally different things.

As most of you know, most jobs require some sort of vocational skill or a mention that you have a degree on your resume. But you don't have to be working towards a degree to get an EDUCATION.

Most of you will say that as a servicemember's spouse you have put in plenty of time at the School of Hard Knocks. I agree.

Military spouses are some of the strongest people I know. You deal with the homefront on a daily basis. Many of you hold down jobs and then take care of the family. That leaves little time for anything else. And I agree that sometimes taking classes may be hard and very time consuming.

BUT, you owe it to yourself to visit your local education center, community college, or university to see what courses are being offered.

You may find a class or two that peeks your interest and fits your time schedule. You may find a class that will Educate you. It's true that one or two classes won't get you a degree, but one or two classes starts you on the way to become an Educated person.

Best regards,

Marc
