Hi, just asking due to lack of clarifications to some answers. I'm a prior service Marine, been out for three years and just got dropped from the IRR in May 2018. Already did my MEPS hassle and scheduled to ship out in January. Lat moving into infantry and just wanted to know what the prior service process will be like. Not too sure if I'll head to ft Leonard wood first, then Benning or straight to Benning.. eventually trying to commission so
Any and all tips will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, gents.

I was able to get blocks of 30 pass fail credits for the engrg, physics, and math exams, engrg is gone, physics also, I think, and some places gave 24, I'm unsure if its still done it was based on raw score, not percentile, also, they're not easy, I'm quite good, well trained yet the physics exam took me three tries to pass, half the credits were assocs level, half Bach level, Excelsior used to accept them, I'd been told that was stopped, I'd used them there, that was largely how I used the second degree rule through Excelsior back when it was part of NYS govt to get the 2nd Bach in math....

Call them also about a mil transcript, ask also about their credit registry, ask also about any involvement with DANTES....

Also, since you were junior level undergrad, did you at least get your assocs awarded at all? Could you go back to the school and see if it could be awarded at all? Just a thought, of course...and, being machinist, I'm assuming you went to a tech school, I'd assume it'd be suitable for undergrad credit, it might be assocs level only, not Bach level, still, if you haven't asked about that possibility, just.another thought....

If you haven't gotten a DANTES transcript or used their involvement with CLEP, call them and ask, OK?

I got a 2nd Bach in math through them, they used to be NYS government, then privatized, very well known to all svcs, a good friend got his Bach in math through them while they were NYS, then went Navy OCS using it....

Also, I can't gauge your age from your description, I'm assuming early to mid 20s, given you'd said you were a junior, so, if you'd want to finish your Bach externally, I can suggest some viable accepted options for that as well, I'm assuming since you were USMC, you were in at least 3-4 yrs there as well, by my estimate, maybe early 30s, from your description, I'm just guesstimating that to try to know what might be suitable to suggest....
