Testimonials
When you take those things that you learn in school and apply it, it makes so much sense how you're able to lead; and then you become a better leader. Within two years after going back to school I was recognized and received a 2018 non-commission officer of the year award. And that was all, I feel, because of my education.

My advice to someone going back to school is to stop making excuses and just do it. You’re never going to be 100% ready and the timing is never going to be exactly perfect, which just means that every moment is an equally good enough time to start.
