Staff Sgt. Christopher Stephens, the Afghan National Security Forces logistics chief with Regional Command Southwest and a native of Dallas, is one of many servicemembers taking college classes while being currently deployed to Helmand province, Afghanistan. “It is a positive way to pass time when not working. I have found that this deployment has seemed shorter because I have been able to keep my mind occupied,” said Stephens, who has been taking his online classes through American Military University. For servicemembers interested in taking classes, Camp Leatherneck has an Education Center, which provides face-to-face classes on the base, as well as standardized testing.
