Stats show that our Sailors who have degrees are advancing well above their counterparts who do not. I would strongly encourage you and your command leadership push off duty education as a priority. Especially in our PTS environment where on time advancement is the key to obtaining PTS approval. Staying ahead of your peers in your YG is absolutely critical. (NCC Strickland)
