Has anyone received college credit for military experience? If so, how did that process work for you?

Upon retiring from the army I enrolled at troy state university in Alabama. I received 32 credit hours from tsu. They were added to the back of my bachelor degree. So I graduated with a bachelor of science degree in law enforcement
I had a total of 180 degree credit hours. My recommendation for anyone wanting to pursue a degree that would be a rewarding career outside the military is to consider what you want to do and then find out what degree would be compatible to that field. However with changing technology and requirements don't get your degree to soon or it will be outdated by the time you retire. Another point is check out the university or school you want to attend and read it's accreditation. Google it and find out the alumni are saying about the school.
