I’ve seen some references online about the possibility of getting retirement points for CGSC Common Core. Does anyone know about this? Is it possible? How do I do it?

Yes, you fill out a 1380 I think it is called (I've been retired a while) you get so many points for the credit hours, also submit a transcript of the courses. https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Earning%20Retirement%20Points or go to AR-140-183 table 2-3.....Hope this helps...... there are many ways to earn points other than MUTAs educate yourself, there is a maximum number of points you can earn this way.....

Let me get this straight. You want to know if you can get retirement points as credit for cgsc distance Learning. 1.st you will need a unit to support your participation in order to receive points. Secondly you will need to document all of your Time spent on the Distant Learning. This is usualy done in conjunction with your service. Then it is documented on the 1380 follow the Col Arndt directions she is on point.

This is a tangent. I did the CGSC resident course and hated almost everything about it - writing essays and lots of reading. I am a slow learner; thus, it was a bit challenging for me. However, I now have a greater understanding and appreciation for military history, lessons learned, and strategic aspects of warfare.

That professional education is the reason why I state Ukraine needs the ability to conduct Blitzkrieg. The Germans invented that doctrine to defeat WWI tactics which the Russians are emulating. The Ukrainians can't punch through the Russian defenses, so it should be able to go over and around the enemy, and this means combined arms warfare.
