I received upper bachelor level credits for master gunner school and tactical electronic warfare.

Awesome, Do you know how many? I'm trying to find courses that I can take with the army so that I don't have to pay for the college classes. I only need 6 upper level elective credits to finish my bachelors.

For those two courses i got somewhere around 6. I would advise taking 6 hrs of electives in lieu of master gunner school.

You'll find the upper level college work is much easier.

Are you asking whether anyone has received credit for 300 or 400 level courses due to experience on their JST?

yes that is what I'm asking. Most of the credits on my JST are Lower level (100, 200) credits.

It really depends on what the military education is. Later military education, as in courses and schools that would be attended at higher ranks, sometimes allow for them to be transferred into some upper-level courses. I have found that more often than not that for guys and gals getting out around E6 or lower, they will not be receiving those kinds of credits. That isn't to say that there is not a way to get them. I just recently used some of my duties as an NCO to receive experiential credit in a number of different courses from 100 to 300 level. You may look into doing something along those lines.

Here's some food for thought. When I last looked at my JST this past summer I didn't receive any credit for master leader course.

I'm sure they haven't figured out what it's worth, but based on the coursework I would suspect it to give upper level credit when they get it worked out.

I concur with the 2LT. Recruiting school will give you a ton of college credits. However, once you go through the school, you become a recruiter. If that's the route you want to take; great! It can be very rewarding and you can have a great experience. Of course it can go the other way as well depending where you go.
