Who grants the most military transfer credit?

They tell you in boot camp, and for aviation "A" schools, they now require a 1 week indoc which includes financial counseling (how to write a check, opening a checking account, avoid getting ripped off at the car dealership, etc; in fact, that's how I found out about http://www.USAA.com the best bank in the US.) All other A schools I'm sure have some type of mandatory learning.

The military also has regular GMT where they will occasionally put this information out to you.

I took advantage of my benefits QUICKLY!

 

Back when I got out, all they gave me when I ETS'd was a swift kick in the ass and my last check.

 

I think I got the same briefing as Unixman. There was no course during my A school about education benefits. I do remember a briefing in boot camp, but is was extremely short on details. We had a Navy Career Counselor on my ship, but he didn't really know much about the Navy's education benefits. He was more concerned about getting guys to reenlist.

I'm not saying I don't bear some of the responsibilty in not pursuing this a lot earlier, but the military was kind of lacking when it came to handing out the benefits back in the 80's.

What was my original question again? Oh yeah, who gives the most credit for military training. Bellevue says they are willing to give me a free evaluation of my credits. I could go for a Marketing Management degree at a distance, but in that case I think my military Journalism credits will simply be counted as free electives.

I'm still thinking TESC might be my best bet.

 

Try looking into this link http://www.tesc.edu/prospective/military/ and check out the Military Degree Completion Program. Much lower enrollment fee and you get the same benefits of the regular enrollees, without the cost. I don't think they care whether or not you are currently in the military. But you must be able to provide a copy of your military 'transcript' (in the Navy, this is referred to as your SMART - contains all your ACE evaluated training while on active duty). Can't speak for the other branches, but you get UNLIMITED lifetime SMARTs

Once you've completed the requirements regular degree requirements, and the residency, you should be good to go )

I believe TECEPs taken during that time period actually count towards the 12-credit residency. That would be cool (as opposed to the Excelsior residency where you had to take actual DL courses....but I got around that for my associates.

I took 2 'independent guided learning' courses that had NO graded assignments....just one 'final exam' which ended up being.....you guessed it....an ECE exam on a different color answer sheet and booklet (green instead of red) and the grade was recorded as a 'course' vs an 'ECE exam' on the transcript.)
