Book Description
The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 is the most generous expansion of veteran benefits since the original GI Bill (Radford, 2009). Unfortunately, many service members and veterans are not enrolling in higher education because of three main reasons: lack of easy access to needed information, lack of effective outreach, and lack of veteran-friendly institutions (American Council on Education, 2008). The profile of students who are service members and veterans is often nontraditional. Some service members or veteran students are older than traditional college age students (18-22), may have families and full time jobs, may be first-generation; and tend to be in lower to middle socioeconomic statuses (ACE, 2008). Service members and veterans' unique histories can result in distinct challenges for them while moving into a higher education setting. The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of student veterans who have gone through the college admission process. A qualitative, narrative approach was used to address the research question: How do student veterans describe their experience during the predisposition, search, and choice stages of college admission process? Data were collected through one-on-one interviews with (N=16) student veterans who have gone through the college admission process. Data were analyzed following the seven steps defined by Rubin and Rubin (2012). Fourteen themes in the predisposition, search, and choice stages and five supplemental themes emerged. In the predisposition stage three main themes emerged as student veterans discussed making decisions about their future careers. In the search stage five main themes emerged which revealed issues in finding information about institutions. In the choice stage, six themes emerged covering the factors student veterans considered when choosing a school. Supplemental findings included themes surrounding military education benefits, lack of academic confidence, and military friendly institutions. The findings of this study may be beneficial in identifying ways to streamline the college admission process for veterans. It may also further identify ways in which leaders in higher education can support student veterans during their transition to higher education. Lastly it could influence change to policies and procedures to become military friendly.

Book Description
One popular program, the Montgomery GI Bill, enrolls large numbers of individuals, but the vast majority of service members use their benefits after separating from service. Thus, the military does not receive the benefits of a more educated and productive workforce, unless the individuals subsequently join a reserve component. The authors suggest the Department of Defense should consider nontraditional policy options to enhance recruitment of college-bound youth. Recruiters could target more thoroughly students on two-year college campuses, or dropouts from two- or four-year colleges. Options for obtaining some college before military service could be expanded by allowing high school seniors to first attend college, paid for by the military, and then enlist. Or the student might serve in a reserve component while in college and then enter an active component after college.

Book Description
The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self. Notice: This is a printed Paperback version of the "The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces". Full version, All Chapters included. This publication is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the National Defense University (NDU). This document is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 6x9".
