How COOL Is This?
Cool isn’t just a vibe in the Navy; it means something substantial. Check this: each branch has a Credentialing Opportunities On-Line or COOL program that provides info about relevant certifications and licenses for service members based on their career field.
“I got my CompTIA A+ certification, which proves I’ve mastered the conditions, rules and security systems to work in IT. That’s the baseline certification for any IT job, in or out of the Military. I could spend hundreds or thousands of dollars in the civilian world pursuing these trainings, but there are so many that are free through Navy COOL.”
