Welcome to the Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River's Lifelong Learning Branch -- better known as the Base Education Center and the Base Library. Lifelong Learning operates under the cognizance of Marine Corps Community Services and Headquarters Marine Corps. It is the aim of Lifelong Learning to provide high quality education services that meet or exceed the needs and expectations of active duty Marines, Sailors, retirees, and their family members aboard Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River.

Here are some Success Stories relating to our new platforms...

What Our Marines Say

Looking for an online school can be difficult. I was going to search engine after search engine, providing my personal information to institutions claiming to provide me with the best education vie distance learning. These phone calls became overwhelming. I wanted to look at the schools information without pushy recruiters calling me. Aex gave me an out. I was so excited when I was introduced to the site. I had all the information I needed at my finger tips. It allowed me to look at the school's information, answer my questions and select the school of my choosing without bothersome phone calls. Great site to use.

I attended the E8 seminar and was hit with a soon to retire awakening. After my motivational education briefing I realized that I had less than three years to get out of the Marine Corps. I knew in order for me to continue my success I would need some type of degree. From the briefing I understood that assistance can be found at the education center and through the Aex website the speaker provided us. I was still a little confused on where to begin; the counselor showed me how to use the website. I was able to locate a school which fits my budget and educational needs and information on the GIBill where I can continue my studies after the Marine Corps. It was easy to surf from one page to the other. Aex provided me with immediate results. I will pass this on to my Marines.

What Our Counselors Say

I have been using the Academic Explorer website with my new and continuing students. Most recently I had a student finish up his Associates degree and wanted to start a Bachelors degree program. We were having a hard time finding an institution that offered what he wanted through online learning, so I recommended the Aex website. He gave me such a hard time saying that I had been holding out on him with a good website for searching for schools. In the end, the student chose to continue his education with the same institution that he received his Associates degree from because of the affordable price. His school is an Aex member, but he raved about how helpful and easy to use the website was. He left stating he would pass it on to any of his Marines searching for an educational institution.
