00:04.831 --> 00:07.330
for education, but many don't realize the sheer number

00:07.330 --> 00:09.887
of programs the Air Force offers.

- We're the only branch in the military that actually

00:13.223 --> 00:16.593
offers an Associate of Applied Sciences degree.

00:16.593 --> 00:19.696
All the other branches, they have to jump through hoops

00:19.696 --> 00:21.673
to get their military training

00:21.673 --> 00:24.340
translated into college credits.

00:30.300 --> 00:33.644

00:33.644 --> 00:36.317
to continue their education all the way to getting

00:36.317 --> 00:38.020
a Master's degree in any field.

00:38.020 --> 00:41.937
- The key benefit of $4,500 that everybody gets

00:42.055 --> 00:45.055
every single year is a huge benefit.

00:45.360 --> 00:47.163
- [Joseph] The Air Force also helps Airmen transition

00:47.163 --> 00:50.006
to civilian life with programs that help members and

00:50.006 --> 00:53.771
their families succeed both in and out of the Air Force.

00:53.771 --> 00:57.772
- We are here for our members, we really have a passion

00:57.772 --> 01:01.892
to help our members succeed in their higher education,

01:01.892 --> 01:04.392
in their choice of profession,

01:05.353 --> 01:07.296
to help them choose whatever

01:07.296 --> 01:08.879
that profession is.
