I am currently an Active Duty Army- 68X (behavioral health) NCO, and my goal is to become an Officer (Psychologist). I am 3 classes away from my AA in GS (figured I should pick it up) and I will then earn my BS in Psych at the University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio).
Given the new restrictions to Tuition Assistance ($4,500 or 16 credits per FY); does anyone have any suggestions for the best course of action to earn my degree and become an Army psychologist?
My plan, so far, is to earn my undergrad, take the GRE, and apply to USUHS. What are some other recommendations if I don't gain acceptance into that university? HPSP?
Finally, if I were to get out of the Army, and use the Post 9/11 GI Bill to further my education; would I be able to use the Post 9/11 Bill and HPSP simultaneously?
Any assistance or advice is appreciated.
