Do you recommend having a DA Form 1059-1 (Civilian AER) completed for college?

I was looking through AR 623-3 and noticed an evaluation form called a DA Form 1059-1 Civilian Academic Evaluation Report. It says it's completed for college, but I've never heard of it or seen one done. Would you recommend I have one done after my Bachelor Degree is completed in a few months or would my transcript suffice? Also, have you ever seen or had one done and can you provide examples?

Contact one of these three gentlemen... they are very knowledgeable in Military related questions/issues.

That is not how that works. DA Form 1059-1 used for RA Soldiers participating in
(1) formally approved part-time degree completion program
(2) when degree completion program is their primary duty or
(3) voluntary participation by RA, USAR serving in active status or ARNG serving in title 10 or 32 USC Soldiers attending night courses at civilian institution.

You will usually see this with AMEDD or special programs. I work at a BOLC that generates DA 1059s. Just because you go to a civilian school doesn't mean you get one. It is for active servicing Soldiers while there are in school due to them not being rated in a primary MOS. A med student can't get an OER or an NCOER. They get the AER to cover their periods of service.

Thank you my friend CPT Private RallyPoint Member for posting an intriguing question. As is often the issue with government programs - plain reading of a issue is not equivalent to understanding the true meaning of a description.
Our friend CPT Private RallyPoint Member explained what DA Form 1059-1 is actually used for.
Have any of our medical friends benefitted from the DA Form 1059-1 accrediation or other military service version
