How many college credits was your military experience worth?

Great resource. Thanks for sharing.

Great Idea but, as a commissioned officer, didn't you already have a bachelor's degree already? What officer specialty did you have that you could get so many credits (mostly undergrad it looks)? I checked into this sort of stuff in the nineties and fund that just your basic combat arms officer (Armor in my case) was pretty much SOL in these sorts of endeavours. Perhaps times have changed?

LTC Jr Hutto - Sir, I began as an Armor Officer (19A), then Quartermaster (92B, 92A, 92F, 92D), finally logistics (90A). Most of the credits I earned were through distance learning from the many military on-line programs. One example is Defence Aquisition University (DAU). I chouse to take a lot of self-development classes.

Correct, I have a bachelor's degree. I can still use these credits for another bachelor's degree or associate's degree. College credits was not my intention when taking the courses. It was an unintended result of so many self-development courses.

SGT Phillip, If you have a service connected disability of at least 20% you might be eligible for VA Voc Educational Benefits. Chectk with the VA or a VSO for details. As for your MOS Eval for 1968, I got out on my first discharge in 1971 and was granted 15 Credits for Personnel and 6 credits for Infantryman at a local Jr College

SSG Norbert Johnson-Thanks for that information about Educational benefits but I never put in for any disabilities connected to my time in Service and before I screwed up the GI bill did manage to get an Associate degree at Franklin Institute in Boston,again appreciate your response,be well Brother

SGT Philip, There are ways to get College credit for your Military and other experiences via Portfolio assessments, Testing out ACE evaluations, and some evaluate how long you were on the job in specific fields as well as your promotions to the management/Supervisory level. If you are interested, drop me a line. Here is a did you know statement: Did you know that if you were a Foreigner desiring to work in America under a H1B Visa, and had only an earned Associates level education, your work experience is reviewed by a Foreign Credential Evaluation Service. 3 years direct progressive experience = 1 year College equivalency. SO it would appear that if you had 6 years employment experience in a specific field + that Associates, you would have the Equivalence of a Bachelor's degree. And since the evaluation would be for a H1B work Visa, an employer is required to accept the evaluation as a Bachelors degree for employment purposes. That is how many Foreign Workers get to work in America without a degree... only the equivalence. This also places American workers at a disadvantage for the same level job as Foreign Credential Evaluation Services refuse, for the most part, to evaluate US earned credits and work experience.

I put the wrong web address in, sorry you. Here is the corrected version.

SSG Diane R. - this web site is not secure...they apparently don't have the security certification period set as too long for safety.
