This was initiated in 2011 I believe.
While at the school house I implemented it within my M.O.S. without additional cost to the Government by utilizing inter government agencies.
As a Parachute Rigger our Civilian equivalent is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Rigger Ticket. there are two levels Senior and Master. I was only able to add the Senior before leaving the School house.

The Navy and all the services have gone to great lengths over the past 20 years to capture and enter all of you military training into a one stop database (Smart transcript). While I have not run mine since I retired but it was very extensive and had my schools all the way back to 1984. You should get these in your transition class and most on base collage counselor will have you get these before you start. Bottom line you are already near an associates get it now and then start to work on the next level then the next. But in any case start now you will be done before you know it.

Thank You for your contribution Sir, but this is not about converting what we have done in the Military to a degree but an actual certification on the Civilian side which correlates to the M.O.S. For example, Commercial Driver License, Surveyor, or like mine FAA Senior Rigger.

Yes I should have been more specific to that in addition to the formal education side the Navy also worked on developing the civilian credentials side, electricians and Microsoft are are few examples. They finally got over the idea that if you train them they will leave. In any case I encourage everyone to do all that you can while on active duty it will pay cash dividends in the end

Mine (Intelligence Analyst) was A.C.E. accredited it, both at the school-house level, and at the "necessary job function level."

It shows up on the Joint Service Transcript, which is nice.

Nice, so yours has already been established properly so if an individual desired they could get a position in the civilian sector?

SSG (Join to see) Quite a bit yes. Some stuff got added later, after I got out.

Like my school had Area studies & Communications as recommended college credits. Later on, the MOS as a whole received Technical Writing & Professional Writing as "skill sets" and those became recommended credits. Combine that with the MCI (despite what anyone says is a great program), and you end up with a pretty solid PME resume.

I wish I could figure out a way to put the Army correspondence courses I took on there. But because of my Vet status, I can't even get into many sites.
