Online college courses follow soldiers to war - By Craig Gima, Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Except for the occasional rocket attack, taking online college classes while deployed in Afghanistan is not that much different from anyone else's college experience, says Master Sgt. Jay Lewis, who is with the 25th Infantry Division from Schofield Barracks. "Thankfully, those rockets are extremely inaccurate," Lewis wrote in an e-mail interview from Forward Operating Base Salerno in eastern Afghanistan. "The last time it happened, I was sitting in my tent doing homework, so I dropped everything and dashed into the nearby bunker," he wrote. "I haven't as yet been able to think fast enough to actually grab my textbook on the way out, but someday I'll make the best use of that time in the bunker and actually do some homework from in there."
