Abstract
While there are numerous qualitative studies that explore civilian experiences in continuing professional education programs, there is a dearth of research on the professional military education (PME) system. These systems, which sustain continuing education and professional development for more than 2 million active and reserve members of the military, are navigated in a myriad of different ways, depending on the branch of service, active or reserve status, and ability to go to resident PME courses by using an online format. This study, using a narrative inquiry framework, explores the lived experience of seven reserve staff noncommissioned officers (SNCO) as they navigate the PME process. Through the process of narrative meaning-making, administrators and advocates of varying backgrounds are able to imagine how PME might be navigated in unique contexts and what it means to support those engaging in PME.
