Will my already approved 5-16 school drop for further education be denied by HRC because my mos (infantry) is listed as shortage?

Usually not. Once your approved it is difficult to justify one guy in the overall picture.

I just thought you might find this of possible use...they're not a panacea, I dont know if they're approved by the svcs, VA, or industry, I've read good things, they got endorsed by the Vatican recently. There's no tuition with them, just admin and exam costs, their ofcs are in Calif, they've got assocs and Bach's in bus admin comp sci (CS,), and health admin, as well as an MBA. They're not regionally accredited, they are recognized by DEAC, formerly NHSC/DETC, just look up DEAC for distance ed programs, DEAC is Federally approved to accredit, UoPeople is listed with them, I did see that, I'm unsure about Tue MBA, you'd need to ask about that, also, dont just go and submit, ask first, I know I've read good stuff, they're hooked into a lot of regular schools, they pro-rate admin and exam costs based on per capita income of a given country, I've suggested it to many on here, I'm merely pointing out, as I'd said, they're not a panacea, so ask, OK? Don't assume in their case, I know they're real as far as I've read, howecer, real doesn't always mean accepted, their majors and degrees are also limited, obviously, so I didn't know if it'd ne for you, the one good thing is the cost is obv low, so you could basically do it just about anywhere, without spending a small fortune, I'll send you a few others worth asking about as well, I think, OK?

This was part of NYS govt, totally regionally accredited, they privatized sevl yrs ago, I got a 2nd bach in math through them using GRE subject tests, one can often get a block of either 24 or, in the case of Excelsior when I did it, 30 pass-fail credits, 15 for assocs, 15 for bach level, they've also got an MA in ligpberal studies that'd ne suitable for !ath if you want STEM, there's also a full nursing program, upmtyrough MSN and NP, a friend of mine got nphis bach in math while they were part of NYS govt, before they split off, he went Navy OCS using it, that I know for sure, they're very SVC friendly, long standingnsvc involvement, they might cost, however, they've also got their own exam program, plus, I know them myself a really long time, you can trust them, honest, OK?

This one is in CT, they I think allowed 24 credits for the GRE subject tests, one needs a minimum raw score, not a percentile, they're rough exams, imdid math, engineering, and physics, physics took me three tries to pass, and I'm quite good, honest, engineering, Como sci (CS), and biochem and molecular bio were stopped, they're gone, however, look up Educ Testing Svc (ETS), Princeton, NJ, under GRE subject tests, you'll see the listing, you can also trust TEEU, na!ed for Thomas Edison, it:s real also, OK?

This is obv under USAF, I've read or been told it might ne open only to USAF enlisted with valid AFSCs, analogous to a valid MOS...I'd read there was an effort a few yrs ago in Congress to open it to all svcs, for all enlisted, I just dont know if it ever happened, I'd expect other svcs have enlisted who've wanted to use it, you'd need to call, I can't imagine they dont field calls about other SVC enlisted seeking to make use of it, you know?

Call them and get a copy of your military transcript, if you haven't already, they have a group that apparently provides them, I've read, OK?

Call them, ask how to use them at your installation, the cost should be either free or comparatively minimal, you know? I'd expect they have a military/veteran unit, ask to speak with them, OK?

Call ETS in Princeton, NJ, and ask about these...ifmyou can manage to pass these, you could knock off an appreciable part pf your assoc and bach quite rapidly...however, as Iid said, these aren't cakewalks, they're pretty rough, honest, CLEPs might be easier, albeit they'd take longer...just trust !e and learn all you can about them, ETS used to sell sample exam books, I dont know if they still do, so ask about those as well...ARCO and Barron's have review books for them, or did, any Barnes and Noble or college bookstore or library can get them, even on interlibrary loan, OK?

Get these also, their level varies, however, many of them are quite good, there was even one on basic differential equations, some like their approach, others find them a trifle too convivial, some are good, I did look at many of them, any college bookstore would be able to get them, Barnes and Noble, libraries, once again...they were on VHS, they're likely DVD or Blu-Ray apby now, I'd expect...maybe also downloadable, I dont know, just call them, or look into getting them, OK?

What- If it hasn't been approved by HRC- then IT IS NOT Approved!- If they have approved it, keep your fingers crossed, because they can change their mind.
