Going to College in the Army
! "Request TA and Enroll in Course", a Pictorial Guide Doing the TA transfer is the ugliest part of the process. I am sure hundreds, possibly thousands, of soldiers got so frustrated with it that they decided it was not worth it. Here's the whole deal. Start by going to https://www.goarmyed.com/ [http://panoptic.com/rking/file/up/GoArmyEd-1.png] ↑ Yay, you're in! This part is already tricky, because you have to use some username other than your AKO, and then the password requirements are actually more stringent than AKO's. I usually just use my AKO password twice in a row. Take that GoArmyEd. If you get stuck, you can always have them email you your password. [http://panoptic.com/rking/file/up/GoArmyEd-2.png] ↑ Find this chunk, and expand the "Enroll or Drop" section [http://panoptic.com/rking/file/up/GoArmyEd-3.png] ↑ Then click the "Request TA..." link. [http://panoptic.com/rking/file/up/GoArmyEd-4.png] ↑ Now you are in the Imp's Lair. I hate this, on principle. I recommend literally rolling up your sleeves. Perhaps put on some soothing music or something... I don't know what makes this tolerable if you have even a shred of self-respect or sense of design. There, I vented. Click the "Search" button. Unlike every other search form on the web, this one you click Search before you input anything to search for. [http://panoptic.com/rking/file/up/GoArmyEd-5.png] ↑ My suggestion is to just click the "Examples" link when it comes up. Have all the info about your course (its number (like "EN101"), what date it starts, its full name, and the Professor). I think I find my course a different way every time I do it. Just keep taking stabs until it works. After that there are still a few more glitches. There is one spot where you have to click on something like this: ☑ to select the course. Again, this is a first on the web. Everywhere else an empty box means, "Click me to select", and a ☑ means "Click me to de-select." Just pretend that they make sense. I'm really negative about this interface in case that isn't clear. Anyway, after you get to the end your school should soon email you a receipt of payment (takes about 2 days). The next step is to get that class syllabus and start getting ahead!
