 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall. Now is the time to start planning for fall semester. If you're planning to take college courses, get your tuition assistance applications in as early as you can. Before you apply, contact your Navy College Office or the Virtual Education Center for Educational Counseling either in person, online, by phone, or email. Your academic advisor will help you determine a plan so you know which courses to take to complete your degree. Complete your application in WebTA, the Navy's TA Online Portal. List your courses and fees and submit it to your chain of command. Your application should be submitted at least 30 days before your class start date. For more resources, go to the Navy College website and click on the My Education Portal.
