18D college credit

I read about an 18D who, after his completion of the "Q" course, had military training that accounted for 82 hours of civilian college credit. This has a certain relevance to my situation so I am curious if this could be accurate. (ballpark) Thanks.

I like his initials, though.

Thank you for filling out your profile.

The bulk of college credits you receive after successful completion of the 18D course will be in science. This may not help you a great deal if you are getting a B.A. degree, but might if you are getting a B.S. degree. Your evaluation process also depends on how far you are along in your current college curriculum. You may have already completed A&P at your school for example and don't need a second class in it from the 18D course. Another possible variable is the college you are attending and what they will accept from your military training. There are other courses in the military that can give you college credits too. We have Education Centers on every military base with Counselors ready to assist you. Many of the Counselors are retired military and understand what you are going through.

The final answer is that yes the 18D course awards credits, but you will have to wait and see what courses apply to your particular situation after graduation from the military course and then an education review with a college.
