Check also Columbia college of MO, they are a military friendly school and have a CJ program just online, for an AA look at the military college for coastline community college in Fountain Valley CA.

I received 65 hours for my military training from Kaplan University. Some courses included NCOES up to SLC and Branch specific schools like MPI and CAPIT.

I'm an instructor in a course that offers 24 SH for the Community College of the Air Force. I know a lot of people scoff at that (CCAF), but I was able to transfer 42 credits to Embry-Riddle from my two associates degrees.

Can't recall how many credits I got but I got some that counted towards PE electives in Community College.

Sure! I got credit for all of my professional development schools, some undergrad credits for my technical school, as well as 3 credits for physical fitness! All in all, I probably got about 30 credits or so, but your particular university will have a policy to decide what counts and what doesn't.

Everything from Basic training to ANCOC is worth credits. Mostly electives, but if you have a "technical" skill they could be towards your degree.

I earned quit a bit of credits with AMU for ALC, but my degree was aligned with my MOS

Yes once you attend a college and sit down with an advisor. They can discuss what you will receive credits for.

Good response SSG Scott, I received over 60 credits for my military experience. That allowed me to get a Bachelors degree in less than three years when I really started to focus on higher education. It was well worth the research.
