desertvixen This will be a repeat for anyone on FB, but this has me irritated:

I'm pretty sure that anyone whose reading skills qualify them for college can figure out that American Military University is NOT affiliated with the military. Military people may be the primary audience, but that seems to be changing.
I'm also really tired of this inference that military personnel, especially enlisted people, aren't smart enough to figure out what school they should be attending. If Senator Durbin is so worried about that, they should look at some of the other schools that come on post to recruit, such as University of Phoenix.
Lastly, AMU is not "much more expensive" - not when TA covers an entire class (and will cover up to 6 classes a year)...at least until the new fiscal year starts and we see what they do with TA then, which will be another issue you can expect to see on my FB and here.
If we are not friends on FB, and you would like to be, I have a link to my FB in the profile!
