Both my under and post-grad degrees were distance learning (over seven years) and were shuffled around various short term deployments.
The OU were extremely helpful, particularly the courses with a good on-line presence, such as virtual tutorials, student chat rooms and direct email contact with tutors and other students.
I can highly recommend it - I know lots of people who have done similar - and the Services / MoD are very supportive once you get going with your studies, particularly if they are relevant to your work or career stream.
