On my PPW, it shows my bachelors (before I joined) and my associate's (obtained in AIT). Both add up to 260 points and maxes out the civilian education section at 160 points. My question is, how do I lose those 100 points. Can they be added to another section? The associate's degree I obtained in AIT, can that be added to the military education section? Looking for answers.

When I got my masters degree, I got no extra points for promotion because my bachelors degree already maxed that out. Where subsequent degrees help you out is when you're going in front of a DA board for E-7 and above, and they see how you've continued to better yourself.

Typically what I'll do is enter a negative value in the last block to bring the points down to the max level allowed for the grade the Soldier is going for. It works just fine.

SSG (Join to see) - I misunderstood the question. No. Maximum civ-ed points is maximum civ-ed points. You can't get more than 100 to SGT or 160 to SSG no matter what.
A few odd situations have crossover, such as mil-ed that awards college credits or military language training that can get you 10 points per language if you have a high enough proficiency level.
There is a reason for this, as it requires a Soldier to be more rounded than the pre-2011 system. No longer can a Soldier be a PT stud and shoot well get promoted; they have to build their resume first. Your civ-ed points give you some strength going into a board vs your peer group, but you'll need other facets to be covered as well to hit the cut-off score.
