And a terrible terrible email system
I will be starting another online class through the GoArmyEd program (formerly eArmyU) in just over a week: Introduction to the Internet. Basic HTML, things like that... the ex said it was pretty easy. It should fulfill two requirements for me, both for my Computer Science Associate Degree from CTC and for my Liberal Arts Bachelor Degree from Excelsior. I hope, anyway (not sure about Excelsior, but there was a 1-credit-hour course I could have taken if I was still at Hood; I figure a 4-credit-hour course should substitute okay).
I haven't checked my email with them (web-based) since I signed up for the class. Some time during my last two classes, my email address was compromised and I was put on spam distribution lists. Out of 108 new emails, only 3! of them were valid emails. The rest were spam.
I'd consider having it all forwarded to another address, but I'm not sure the spam filters would catch it there (since it's forwarded). THERE ARE NO SPAM FILTERS ON THIS ARMY EMAIL! It's frustrating. I may provide an alternate email to my instructor, but only if they aren't going to share with the other students...
