Is my S1 correct in telling me that my education is required to be evaluated and put on my ERB?

Because of character limits I wasn't able to finish my question... according to my S1, they send my transcripts from my ESS to HRC. They told me that HRC updates the educational portion of the ERB, however in every other S1 I've been in, they update my semester hours on the spot. Can anyone give me any insight?

Also they said that HRC is putting degrees on peoples ERBs without earning them as it now goes based on how many credits someone has. For example, I have 70 credits...I technically have a 2 yr degree AA, so on and so forth.

I appreciate all the help!

Absolutely not. They can update the number of college credits, and add to your records a copy of your official transcripts.

Why was this question modified?

I have had to provide a consolidation memorandum in the past, many years ago. I had to take all of my transcripts to the Education Center, have the education counselor evaluate them and produce a consolidation memo; to ensure there were no duplicate credits, such as earning 30 Credit Hours at Fayetteville Community College, then transferring those already earned credits to AMU. When bringing in both transcripts, to the average S-1 clerk, it would appear as though you have 60 credit hours, (30 from FCC and 30 from AMU), but in actuality, its only 30 non-duplicate credit hours. I imagine there are MANY Soldiers who have taken advantage of that loophole.

I have always taken my transcripts to the education office and they give me a memorandum for record that I then give to S1 so they can update my credits. This is too keep people honest.
