I don't know about this homeschool diploma shit, but if 15 credit hours is all you need to qualify for opt40 then find the nearest community college and take 4-5 classes while you are still at home. Good luck trying to finish anything while you are active. The only people that I ever saw that had enough free time were remf's or spoon's that went to pt formation in bdu's so they go to the tmc and disappear for for the rest of the day.

That's not going to be you, is it? Good.

Kinnakor--
I don't know what your schedule is like. But if you still want to try and take the 15 college credits you could try correspondence coursework. Basically you recieve a workbook and mail completed assignments back to the school, then I think 3 or 4 Saturdays you have to go take an exam at the school. Try contacting the registrar's office of a community or 4 year college in your area and see if they offer them. I know an infantry Major who took 16 credits in about 30 days while at Ft. Bragg. Hope that can help.

You want to be banned for OPSEC VIOLATION, shitbrick?! Go ask BeerForMe about that. On second thought, Maybe your chain of command or S-2 would like to comment on this. Watch your fucking step; Hadji is.

This whole fucking thread needs to fall by the wayside....

kinnoker's already been warned and now we have other's following in his wake. It simply invites more of his initial stupidity... Just a thought.

Don't ever mention deployment schedule on an open forum again.
Your MOS is not infantry.
No basic?No AIT?
That's like claiming to be a priest without ever having fondled an altar
boy.
You have a crayola diploma and you're asking about college credits?
Are you in the NG on the one year "wait and see"?
You expect to slide into active duty and slip into the Regiment?
Son...do you do your own jacking off or have you found a convenient
shortcut for that too?
You and darkwinter and the highly esteemed Mr. Weber need to skip off to a fuckin' condo somewhere and take turns not doing jack shit.

I'm trying, honest to God...I'm fucking trying.
