🚨 ATTENTION SOLDIERS! It's and we have a critical update regarding your education benefits. 📚

❌ MYTH: "I’ve used Credentialing Assistance (CA) before, so I don't need my Commander's approval this time."
✅ FACT: False! Due to recent changes, ALL Soldiers must now get Commander approval to request either CA or Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA). No exceptions for past users!

⭐ FIRST-TIME CA USERS: You have an additional requirement! You must complete the MilGears Career Assessment and upload the results to your ArmyIgnitED account before applying.

Don't let your training get delayed! 🗣️ Please SHARE this post to your unit pages or TAG your battle buddies to make sure everyone is tracking the new standards

Let's talk about managing your education benefits and the relationship between FTA and CA.

❌ MYTH: "My Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA) use does not affect my Credentialing Assistance (CA) use."
✅ FACT: False! They share the same pot of money. The more FTA you use, the less CA you have available.

🧮 For example: If you use $3,500 of your $4,500 FTA cap for college courses, you will only have $1,000 left to use for CA.

Don’t let your Post-9/11 GI Bill go to waste! Transfer your benefit to your dependents sooner than later! As a reminder, there is a one-time 4-year service obligation from your accepted transfer date.

Let's bust a myth! 💥 We've heard from many officers who think certain career development doors are closed to them.

Myth: As an officer, there are no apprenticeship or on-the-job training programs for me.
Fact: Not true! You can use your GI Bill for apprenticeship and on-the-job training (OJT) programs that are approved for GI Bill benefits! This is an amazing way to get hands-on experience and credentials. 📜

Wondering where to find them? You can use the GI Bill Comparison tool to search for approved schools and employers. Don't miss out on these valuable opportunities!

We are late in sharing this on Facebook however this has been briefed to all of our MSCs.

It's , and we're tackling a big one! 🤔

Myth: You need to have experience to get an apprenticeship.
Fact: Absolutely not! Apprenticeships are entry-level positions by design. They are created for people who want to learn a new skill and start their career in that field from the ground up. It's all about learning while you earn!

So, if you've been holding back from applying because you thought you weren't "experienced enough," now you know! Go for it! 💪 Share this to help someone start their dream career!
