eArmyU helps soldiers meet goals, gain success - Staff Sgt. Marcia Triggs
An Airborne Ranger who had sights set on being an officer thought his only chance was to leave active duty and pursue a degree through "Green to Gold" - until someone told him about eArmyU. The Army's initiative to provide enlisted soldiers with an online education helped 2nd Lt. Matthew Minnick, a Ranger from Fort Benning, Ga., reach his goal. Minnick graduated from Officer Candidate School Aug. 7.... There are positive testimonies from soldiers who have logged onto the eArmyU portal from Afghanistan and Kuwait. There's even a soldier who had to get his laptop replaced after it was hit with a bullet, said Elizabeth Nass, the eArmyU program coordinator.
