As discharge nears, what are the proper steps to enroll in college?

One of the biggest decisions you need to make is what college, university or trade school you will be attending. Begin by looking at that institute's Web site. The first thing you will need to do is complete the application form. There also may be a fee, depending on the institution. Then they will request that you send in all of your transcripts from each institution that you have attended. This includes military transcripts. All the training you completed while you were in the military may count toward your educational goals. Most universities, colleges and trades schools will accept your military credit.
