Unofficial education center at LSA Anaconda preps troops for testing - Jessica Inigo, Stars and Stripes

Get smart in Iraq — prove it in Kuwait. A fledgling education service center on Anaconda is taking the first steps to become an official education center for military troops. Currently, the center can set up troops with distance learning courses from almost all major colleges, act as a proctor for school exams, tutor students on general studies and set up appointments for testing at the nearest official education center in Camp Doha, Kuwait. The majority of the traffic is from troops trying to improve their general/technical score on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, the initial exam servicemembers take to measure what jobs are open to them when joining the service. With a higher GT score, troops get more options when re-enlisting or can get a different military job.
