GETTING AN EDUCATION...AND NOT AT THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS

Greg Besaw knows he'll serve many -- sometimes too many -- customers in a day. Supplying everything from clothing to office equipment, he'll juggle his stock-on-hand with the demands of time-pressured customers who are frequently under a great deal of stress.

Then, at the end of another demanding day, he becomes a college student at American Military University (AMU). And he does what thousands of other students do. He gets ready to study, hunkering down with his laptop and textbooks.

Staff Sgt. Besaw studies online at AMU, where he is majoring in Transportation and Logistics Management. His studies and military experience recently paid off. He'll head to Warrant Officer Candidate's School within six months.
