Help support military families by becoming a Family Child Care Provider

The Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) educates Airmen for life. As an enlisted member, you’re already automatically enrolled in the CCAF. Your Air Force education and training counts towards your degree! Contact the Hurlburt Education Office for assistance with completing your Associates Degree in Applied Science. Fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace.

Visit www.airuniversity.af.edu/CCAF/ or contact Hurlburt’s Education Center at 850.884.6724 or 1SOFSS.FSDE@US.AF.MIL for more information.

The SkillBridge program offers an opportunity for military members who are retiring, separating, and/or discharging with honorable conditions, to participate in and gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences.

Effective 26 June 2025, SkillBridge applications will no longer route through the Education and Training Section (E&TS) for review. Applicants must complete a virtual training in the Air Force Virtual Education Center (AFVEC) before submitting their SkillBridge application in AFVEC. Applications will route directly to their supervisor and then to the approving commander. Supervisors and commanders must ensure applications comply with SkillBridge policies in DAFI 36-2670 section 6.10, and DAFI 36-3003, Table 4.3, Rule 23 and Relocation PTDY Rule 2 & 3.

The E&TS will continue to offer general advisement on SkillBridge and provide an optional briefing on the first Wednesday of the month at 10:00 through FY25. However, the E&TS will not provide quality control reviews or have edit capabilities for SkillBridge applications.
