Departing military officers are using their skills in a new way by enrolling in MBA programs. Experts say that the skills learned in the military translate well to the business world, and that MBA programs gives officers the tools necessary to achieve in the business world. Others remain in the military, but use MBA programs to gain management skills. Schools say that current or former soldiers add to programs, and are often leaders.
