    CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq— Soldiers with the 632nd Maintenance Company, 110th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 224th Sustainment Brigade, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), usually spend their time tasked out doing missions.

    They train for convoy security, securing entry control points, recovery missions, along with working in their various sections. Whether it is maintenance, electronics repair, shaping metal to make products, or repairing weapons systems, the 632nd Maint. Company mission is to provide support. Even with all of this, soldiers seem to be making the best of their down time.

    Spc. William Ward, a wheeled vehicle mechanic with the 632nd Maint. Company, and a Newnan, Ga., native, has been working in his spare time to complete his degree in criminal justice online. Staff Sgt. Jason Kozak, an automotive platoon sergeant with the 632nd Maint. Company, and a Middleburg, Fla., native, is taking history classes and working toward a degree.

    Soldiers can take online classes in Iraq to jumpstart their future in a field or degree of their choice. Their education can take them to new heights, such as law, engineering, or even right back into the military as a commissioned or warrant officer, depending on their preference. Taking advantage of educational opportunities while deployed is a stepping stone to soldiers improving themselves now and for the future.
