Praise for Military Essentials

"Military Essentials provided military specific terminology and programs that enabled me to better understand issues faced by our Department of Defense military and civilians. This applied to everything from retirement plans, permanent change of station orders, combat pay, etc. The course was well-paced and easy to utilize."
