What can I do to prepare my self for college. I just joined the military, I'll be active for 2 years. Those years I plan to work on problems in my english and math textbook, then I will proceed to take college level courses. At the moment I have a "B" in my english and math class. Which is a good sign of my progress. But it's too quick, I forget the information too easily. Friends who are in high never forget what they've learned. I want to achieve that. I want to get the education. Not just to move on to a college level course. Currently I am building on what the teacher taught me.
I am enrolled in remedial classes. I am taking a middle school course in english and math at college . These courses are design to build on information I already know, which I don't have.

If you are in the military that means you got your GED already.

You are awesome!!! You have already made steps in the right direction. I suggest that you not get caught up in the drinking, gambling and chasing women that is so much a part of the military. If you do you'll come out of it worse than you went in. I'm happy to see you are taking classes to help you along. There are lots of teachers that are here to help you along your course of study. Those that would be more than happy to tutor someone like yourself. Someone wanting to achieve.
I'm happy to see that you have signed up for classes at the Junior College level - now just get your basics out of the way. I'm sure with the knowledge you already have you'll be able to do just that.
Another thing that I'd suggest is that you have money automatically taken out of your pay and sent to a bank in your home town. If you don't have it you won't use it and it will be there for whatever you decide when you get out. Maybe a new car or to advance your education. If you don't have it then your "buddies" won't be able to borrow off of you. (Military suggestions from my husband).

Good for you to be determined to get an education and better your life. I understand what you're saying about not retaining the information. I have found that just learning from books, or a computer, does not seem to file the information in my brain permanently. It becomes a goal to get through the book or computer training, and when I'm done....poof. I don't want to be this way, I just am. While you're in the military, be sure to talk to a counselor about your goals and how to achieve them. If you are going to be posted somewhere where you can take community college classes at night, that would be great. There are many classes out there to help people in your situation. There are even classes on how to study in college. Once you have gotten your GED (which you really should have), you can continue at a community college wherever you are posted. The military can provide you with great aid, but be sure to talk to someone whose job it is to help in this situation. Don't just talk to your military superior and expect help, they aren't trained in this and don't know the resources. In your spare time, READ! And I don't mean textbooks. If you don't read for pleasure, develop a love of books. You'll improve your reading skills, vocabulary, spelling, and have fun doing it. This will help you a lot. Best of luck

You might want to consider going to a learning center to prepare for your GED. Talk to your Military adviser as well, they might have programs to help you get the education you need to get into college. It is great that you want to get a good education...don't give up!!

The secret to academic success lies in one word- discipline. You have the desire to go to college.Now, it is important to map out your modus operandi or plan for achieving your goal. Learning has to be reinforced through application of skills. Use what you are learning in a practical way and you will not forget.Team up with people who understand your goals.To get to college you need to look down the road but take your time getting around the curves.

You should look into going to a local community college and earning your GED. They should have adult high school courses as well.

I would think that you have to get your GED before you can go to college
