I spent 6 months in Saudi back in 99. We were rather limited on the classes we had available. What options do you have in regards to health related classes? Their are a bunch of certs that are home study like ISSA, ACE, and NASM. I may want to pick one of them up. I know the VA will pay for an ISSA cert. I'm not sure about the others.

NASM has a deadline from the time recieve teh material to the time you take the test. They may make a acception since your deployed.

I picked up 18 college credits while I was in Saudi.
