States Air Force. He is currently the Vice Commandant of the
Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), which is the only
regionally accredited institution in the world dedicated to

Ventrone and Hollis got it right! Finally, a comprehensive guide
that unleashes the potential of every Airmen by helping them
throughout their Air Force educational journey. The book From the
Air Force to College:Transitioning from the Service to Higher
Education does a fantastic job at explaining the vast educational
benefits, programs and resources provided to Airmen. Without a

This insightful guide is exactly what is needed to help Airmen
achieve their full potential.

One-stop-shop is a phrase one hears quite often in higher education
circles with purpose to streamline the maze associated with
pursuing a college education. Jillian Ventrone and Andrew Hollis
have masterfully provided Airmen a one-stop-shop guide that
transitions Airmen through that maze when Airmen choose to move
from the Air Force to higher education. Their guide will stand the
test of time and one which no Airmen will want to be without. Well
done!

Montgomery Alabama Campus*
From the Air Force to College is excellent! Jillian Ventrone and
Andrew Hollis talk about early on to the end. I would hope that
there is one place holder within our Service on all these topics.
We are the best in the Air Force when discussing Force Development,
but even with that we will not know everything that is going on
with all the changes that occur. While we are all different, if it
is not important to the individual at this time education certainly
will down the road.
*CMSgt Al Velez, Senior Enlisted Advisor For Defense Activity For
Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)*
Tremendous thought provoking questions with comprehensive solutions

Easy, logical and comprehensive guide that affords military members
