Blake is 1000%. I'm went through this with my university last year. I gave up as seeing it more as a way of them just sucking off the tit of the system. They want the free G.I. Bill money. One thing that I feel needs to be fixed is the USASFC and USAJFKSWCS to have the SWCS Dept of Ed get with American Council on Education and get credit to guys for what SWCS Teaches. Between SFQC, Language Course, Special Skills course, as in ASOT in creative writing class. Because all that have gone to ASOT that's a full college creative writing class. Just as the new ANCOC (SLC) classes in concept writing to basic OPORD can be the Business Writing glass. Ok a stretch maybe, but the point it there. The DoD doesn't do justice towards how much of what we are taught in courses and what college course credit we get for them. Another example is guys that become drill sergeant or SWC Instructors, only 1 credit for the schooling. DoD needs to really look at fixing this. SWC (JFK) Ed needs to try to get more. Also heard that if you did DLI or SWC Language training, request your language transcript from DLI. You get more than just 1 credit for your 450+ hours or 9-430 a day language training. A SF guy should get at least one semester waved of foreign language training.
Yes the collegiate system is all about making money. DoD isn't about helping us out.
