Unfortunately, I have to agree that this article doesn't give a favorable impression. The cursing and talk about blood pressure rising isn't productive. And given the edit at the bottom of his article, it looks like he didn't do his research and see that the military has tried to facilitate getting colleges to recogize our training. But ultimately, I think it's unrealistic to expect a college to understand all the different military training and automatically waive its requirements based on the student's description of what he did.
(I'm not surprised that American Military University or those around Fayetteville are more apt to recognize your military training. But a random college with limited affiliation with the military -- don't expect much.)
He wrote, "
That said, my time in the SFQC is valued at 28 credit hours." That's roughly a year of college. In my opinion, that's not bad for 24 months of military training (the time he said he was in the Q course).
(I went to college before SFQC. I didn't ask, but I don't think SWCC would have allowed me to use my college credits to waive any of its requirements.
I think that conversation with my TAC would have been a bit less friendly than Blake's conversation with his college advisor.)
