We used to be able to take the US Marine Corps Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course non resident course and the USAF Basic NCO Course. You can also take DRMO and Hazmat. They are credit rich courses.

SPC Private RallyPoint Member, when you say "max out my correspondence hours", what are you referring to?

You can still use correspondence hours for promotion points, but (assuming you're talking about getting retirement points in the reserve component), the Army stopped doing that back in 2016 (you CAN ask your unit to give you a paid ATA... up to 12 a year).

As to WHAT courses you can take ... just do some Google searching - TONS of them are out there. If you're into tech, then check out all the DL courses you can get on skillport. If you want to have Military Police related courses, check out the many courses on ATRRS (MP courses start with .. yep, MP), etc.

Make sure you convert your military experience into college credit if you haven't already. You simply need to provide your college a copy of your joint service transcript and boom, college credit. Sure most of it will be fluff but at least it counts.
