What regulation addresses if someone can use their JST for civilian education points?

I recently started online classes and had my JST evaluated to get me started. I took an unopened official transcript from Central Texas College to my S1 and they said I couldn’t “double dip” like that. Is this true? What regulation supports this? I’ve been promotable with BLC complete for a year now and I’m doing everything I can to get closer to the cutoff score. If I could get this on my SRB, I would max the 75 point limit on semester hours and have enough to get promoted.

You're nost recent transcript is the one you should use. You can only have 1 set of tramscripts on there, so make sure it's right and take it in. Sounds like you are trying to cheat the system, just do it the right way

You are trying to get military training credit for college credit on your promotion point worksheet? You can't. It is already factored in for your military training. Your college Transcript with your most recent credits should be counted for civilian education.

I get what they mean about the Double Dipping however this is how its done and works

Say you enroll in college, they pull your JST and turn that into college credits (whatever they deem as transferable) then, whether you take any courses or not, you receive a transcript from the college and take your S1 to add to civilian education.

JST before it is taken by a college is not on your record as college credits. Completing basic training does not give you college credits (vie the army) but via a college they "can" give you credits for basic, usually listed as physical training, land nav, etc.

Also, it is not the S1 guys job to "look" into the college transcript. (don't burn a bridge and be an ass) but they look to see it is a real college transcript, look at how many SH are completed, and put that onto your ERB.

It sounds like you have two questions:

1) does a school have to convert military time to credits for their degree and program purposes? No. The JST is a recommendation of how to apply credits if a school chooses to and if they are relevant to your program.

2) can you use credits from the military, accepted by a university as SH credits for your PPW? No. That is probably what they are referring to as double dipping. You got credit for those in earning your MOS. Any secondary MOS or additional training you have done would just qualify you for competition in other MOS.
