Goodfellow members receive CCAF degree Published May 13, 2015 By Senior Airman Scott Jackson 17th Training Wing Public Affairs GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The Community College of the Air Force and Park University students from accepted their degrees during a ceremony at the base theater May 8. The CCAF offers job-related associate degrees in applied science and other academic credentials. Park University also teamed up with Goodfellow to offer accredited onsite and online classes for associates, bachelor's and master's degrees. Some individuals received their second CCAF degree in their Air Force career. "The hardest part is getting started," said Chief Master Sergeant Rye T. Bavin, 17th Medical Group superintendent, in his opening remarks. "Don't stop here, though. If this is your bachelor degree, go for your master's. If this is your master's, go for your PHD. Just don't stop." Col. Kimberlee P. Joos, 17th Training Wing Commander, gave a speech at the graduation. "People think when you're in the military you're just taught a technical skill and just do that your entire career," said Joos. "That is simply not the case. Education in the military is a top priority. Don't ever stop challenging yourself as you grow." According to Air University's website, service members complete approximately 1.6 million semester hours of course credit through CCAF affiliated schools each year. It takes an average of two years to receive a CCAF degree. The length it takes to get a bachelor's depends on whether the student has prior credits that can transfer or if the student used the College Level Examination Program.
