This channel is all about providing useful information regarding opportunities for Marines to earn college degrees while on active duty.

Primary Subject Areas Explained:

1. Using Credit by Exam (CLEP, DSST, etc.) to save time and money on the way to a degree. This subject is very important to me as I saved myself YEARS of using TA for college by leveraging these exams. Spoiler alert: It’s not as hard as you think.

2. How to pay for full-time college tuition while on active duty. You’ll get an in-depth look at how to utilize a combination of tuition assistance, financial aid, and tax benefits in order to get your degree(s) for free.

3. College Terminology can be confusing when you’re starting out. I’ll give you a quick explanation of several terms and concepts you’ll need to be familiar with.

4. Extras that don’t fit above categories, but help tie these concepts together will also be included.

Many of these videos may benefit a much larger audience and anyone is welcome here.
