All DEPs who have AKO need to sound off

that should be all of you. Your recruiters have to sign you up for AKO.

Well another suprise, my recruiter didnt tell me I will ask him, if he signed me up.

I've never heard of it. I'll be giving my recruiter a call.

I got it, my recruiter didn't tell me about it but I was able to figure it out on my own.

OK First thing. Everyone that sounds after I post this needs to execute 50 pushups!

AKO is essential to your Army Career now! Every personnel action and all your records are accessible from AKO.

I want everyone who has AKO to log on. Look AKO services, locate and select "My education". Now select "Army E-learning". Now do some research and find out how you sign up for a course (any course). I am not sure sure if it is available to DEPs but we'll soon find out. Sign up for a course and report back to me with your status!

Trying to register for MySmartForce user name and password resulted in an error:

I don't believe I will be able to complete the task until my AKO account is updated reflecting that I am Active Duty. I will contact my recruiter to gather more information. Sorry for the delayed response.

RangerGronk,

I have AKO : levi.newton@us.army.mil (in case anybody wants it).

I've already signed up and taken classes, I've taken Individual Combat Techniques 1 & 2, the first Land Nav course, and an Enemy Armor Identification class. All were passed with a 90% or better. I haven't signed up for a class in awhile, I've been competing in a nev-cali boxing league lately (just got back from a 2 day tourny in Redding CA actually, I won my weight class) and just been pretty busy with school (thesis paper, senior project) and trying to stay up on my Army stuff.

I'll take more before I leave though. I'll do 75 pu's now.

neutron good job. I am kind of interested how you knew about this opportunity and the other DEPs didn't. Seems like Hit_it needs to start schooling some of these rcruiters.

DEPs every course you take is worth promotion points. Think about it...You are not even in the Army yet and you can start working toward a quick promotion to SGT. What a good life you lead! NOW GET TO WORK!
