Laguna Hills, Calif. - Aug. 10, 2007 - As conflict continues around the globe, many U.S. military personnel find themselves on longer, and often repeated, deployments overseas while serving their country. Many have begun to consider post-military job training, and some have even chosen to take military continuing education online as they serve.

Military distance learning, or online schooling, has become an increasingly popular choice for U.S. servicemen and women, as it requires only a laptop and an Internet connection, services that even combat soldiers can access. "Military correspondence courses online offer service members a way to start taking courses in real estate, the medical field or business, no matter where in the world they're stationed," said George Achenbach, CEO, Allied Schools, the nation's largest vocational distance education school.

Achenbach explained that Allied Schools works with all branches of the military and accepts 100% Military Tuition Assistance for most programs. "Whether someone's in the Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Navy, Army or Coast Guard, they can use tuition assistance for military to pay for their career training," he added. "It's a great opportunity for those who have given so much to their country."

Corporal Eric Storrie, U.S Marine Corps, has taken advantage of his branch's transition assistance program to take real estate and home inspection courses from Allied Schools. And despite a schedule that has taken him in and out of Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations around the world he finds time to study. Corporal Storrie explained that the busy, and sometimes dangerous life of a Marine, doesn't prevent him from furthering his educational goals. "During lunch break, after work, in the airport and even in the mountains of Afghanistan, Allied's flexible and well-structured courses helped me pass."

"The real key to military distance learning classes is that military personnel can train as they serve," Achenbach said. "And Allied Schools will even provide a laptop computer at no cost if the serviceman or woman needs that."

First Lieutenant Sonya Moore, US Army, has her sights set on being a business owner some day. She took advantage of US Army tuition assistance and got her small business training online with Allied Schools and hopes to become a music promoter. "Online military distance learning has helped because it has allowed me the opportunity to learn at my own pace," said First Lieutenant Moore. "The military education benefit provided me with 100% Tuition Assistance and helped me get started."

Allied Schools is a Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) affiliated school. DANTES is a Department of Defense organization created to help service members pursue educational goals through non-traditional means during active military duty.
