As a long-term military education director with both the navy and the army, I can state unequivocally that this is a most comprehensive and fact-filled explanation of educational benefits for service members. It is absolutely the best review of benefits that I have seen in my thirty-eight years of government service!

Mebane Harrison, Retired Education Director, Navy College and Army Education Centers

This book will no doubt be invaluable to Sailors interested in pursuing higher education goals. It is all encompassing, clearly spelling out the complicated options available to service members, whether their goals point toward degree completion or vocational training. The book does an excellent job pointing out potential pitfalls that may confront Sailors in their educational journey and how best to avoid them.

Edward McKenney, former Dean of Military Academic Programs, Coastline College, Fountain Valley, California

This is a must have reference for any Sailor serious about making the most of their academic pursuits. If only I had this book when I was pursuing my undergraduate degree after retiring from my naval career I could have saved some missteps in the maze of higher education. This book contains a wealth of information not only for the Sailor (active or vet) but it is a compendium of resources for the Education/Academic Advisors serving Sailors.

David Taylor Ed.D, Former Navy College Education Specialist/Guidance Counselor

This book is the complete guide for the service member ready to advance his or her education. I have not seen any other resource as comprehensive nor focused on setting the foundation for success. The authors have simplified a complex process, considered military factors and placed seasoned counseling advice at one's fingertips!

Gretchen C. Taylor, MD, CAPT, MC, USN (Ret)

From the Navy to Collegeis a great and practical source of information we usually don't hear enough about. It is very personable and has good practical advise. The information is relevant to all still in active duty, as well as to those who have transitioned into the civilian world.

Elizabeth G. Beazley, Medical Corps, United States Navy- Retired

After reading Ms. Ventrone's book I can honestly say that it is a useful to me for all those servicemen and women trying to navigate the waters of higher educational opportunities. This manual is indispensable in finding the way toward a higher degree. I recommend it without reservation.
