How does it actually work while active duty? I am planning on getting a Masters Degree (probably from A.M.U.) over the course of my enlistment. I was wanting to know how I would actually work on the classes. Would I do them on my free time or is there a designated time for students enrolled? If I am deployed to a cutter, could I still work on the classes? (The second one may be an AMU question).

To anyone who got their degree while in, how was it for you?

Thank you for any feedback!

You work on them on your own time. That's the price you pay for TA.

It depends on how much internet connection you need.

In addition to everything mentioned you'll need approval from your command. Sadly, I had a command at my first unit that did not see the need for education. He said he "didn't want us to turn into liberal hippies" if we went to the college in town. I know other commands that encourage education and even offer classes on base for CG members.
