 Hey guys, this week in the rundown, we're looking at more distance learning graduate education opportunities available in 2016. For slayers looking at life after 20 plus years of service, we have some retirement tips. And CNP has a blog out there addressing your PFA questions. More distance learning opportunities for master degrees for officers and graduate certificates for enlisted will be available for the 2016 academic school year. Distance learning programs are part-time web-based classes for those unable to attend a traditional classroom course. Some of the graduate programs will include system engineering, underwater acoustic systems, and executive masters of business administrations. Sails interested in filling out a student application form can go to the academic tab on NPS website. Click on admissions and apply now. Check out NavAdmin 251-15 on NPC to get the full list of available programs and to see if you're eligible. For sailors preparing for retirement, all hands has a blog with tips on what to expect and steps to take to smooth the way. The blog lists nine things you need to know prior to leaving the Navy and gets first-hand account from former sailors who have already made the transition. In addition, it gives you information on transition, goals, planning, and successful core curriculum and using your post-911 GI bill. Check out the full blog on the All Hands Home page. Finally, CNP has written a blog addressing questions from sailors on the PFA changes taking effect January 1st. He also touches on what to expect moving forward including changes to the PRT, a fitness ribbon, and overall fleet readiness. Check out the blog on Navy Live. Also, once you're done here, be sure to check out CNO's new podcast called Soundings, now available on iTunes. MC1 Fabrizio hosts the podcast which provides the latest news coming from the CNO.
