There is little doubt that the Army Reserve family is the foundation that strengthens Reserve Soldiers as they face multiple deployments and high operational tempos. Army Reserve families have made numerous sacrifices while supporting Soldiers on deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and many other places around the globe - and they deserve many things, among them military spouse education.

There have been a number of efforts by both the Army and the Department of Defense over the past year to help ease the burden on the military family. Much of this effort has been focused on improving the education and career prospects of military spouses by emphasizing tuition relief and scholarships. And it's not just the government that has stepped in, vocational schools and colleges are now offering military spouse discounts and scholarships to help out with accredited military education options - important military benefits for the whole family.

Allied Schools - which offers 100% online distance education military courses - has created a program that allows both Reserve Soldiers and their spouse or a dependent to receive career training at no charge. To take advantage of the opportunity, Reserve Soldiers must first enroll at Allied Schools using 100% US Military Tuition Assistance (TA).

Reserve Soldiers on active-drilling status should know that TA benefits pay up to 100% of the cost of tuition for military distance learning courses - that means Soldiers pay nothing out-of-pocket. And this is a benefit that Reserve Soldiers have earned through their faithful service to the country.

After Reserve Soldiers have completed one course or module at Allied Schools, their spouse or dependent can enroll in a military distance learning course at no charge. Army Reserve spouses can choose from career-training programs like medical transcription, real estate salesperson and small business management, which are well-suited to the military lifestyle.

Army Reserve spouses benefit from 100% online courses because they can maintain their family and community commitments while still training for a career. And as more and more families are affected by both the rising cost of gasoline and busier schedules, distance education becomes a real way to save both time and money.
