Recruiter told me the Army can get my transcripts from my college even though I oh them money. True?
What they will need is for your college to provide them with your credits earned/GPA in a letter stating that the transcript cannot be released due to an unpaid balance. Just keep in mind that the Army will need you to provide a reason for why you have not paid it, and to set up a payment plan (that is if the Army is not paying it as part of your sign on bonuses). I am actually going through this now too, since I am going back into the Army after being out for a long time. Your recruiter may need to call the college, and speak to whoever the VA rep there is. They should know exactly what to give to your recruiter.
How do I get ahold of my tech school college transcript for the Air force?
Your DD-214 will list any and all schools you have been to, while in the military. The Education office at any base can also access your schools, tell you how many credits they are worth toward a CCAF degree.
Air force college credits for intelligence tech school?
Hey Jen, I was your rope for a while and I've just recently completed our CCAF requirements. As a 1N2X1, which we were, you were awarded college credit for both the Army and Navy schools we attended at that time. So first, determine either directly from CCAF or an education office, if the credits were awarded on your CCAF. Your Education Office: http://www.militaryta.com/education_center/hickam-afb-air-force-education-center.shtml CCAF Contact info: http://www.au.af.mil/au/ccaf/contact.asp Then, if there was credits awarded, request a transcript be sent to your current school of study. CCAF Transcripts: http://www.au.af.mil/au/ccaf/transcripts.asp If not, send proof that those courses were indeed completed. This may as simple as what's on your DD214. - If it's not in your DD214, please reference the following link: http://www.ehow.com/how_6665100_correct-dd-214.html So the key thing to walk away with here is, although you did not complete your requirements for a CCAF degree, those credits are still accredited and ultimately yours. Use the mentioned links and contact info to dig a little deeper to verify those credits and take the necessary action to either retrieve or correct your military record to obtain what was rightfully earned.
Air Force Recruiter wants my college transcript? (and another question)?
Order an official transcript from your school and have them mail it directly to your recruiter. Grades don't matter much at this point.
Will my unofficial transcripts be accepted to join the air force at a higher rank?
You guys are so annoying. Get of your damn soapboxes it's a simple question. It's not about blinds or anything. For your information I'd literally been moved to that apartment dorm two weeks before the semester end. She'd been doing that stuff for at least 5 months when I came. Christ, do people not realize that there's always more to the story, and you should learn that BEFORE making judgements? And you people who called me stupid and an idiot have been reported
Do I Need My High School Transcripts To Get Into The Military?
Alright, I am going to lay out all the information I came across during my own enlistment process. If you did an online program, even if it is accredited, it is still classified Tier II by the US Army. However, if you were homeschooled BY someone (such as a parent with a college degree,) under the current laws, then it can be evaluated and possibly considered Tier I. You would still have to score over a 50 on your ASVAB and pass the AIMs test. Independent Study Programs do NOT count. They must be in classroom high school programs or proctored homeschool. There is a loophole to this - it's sort of a shot in the dark, but if you completed 11 years of schooling successfully, depending on level of courses you took, there is a chance that upon evaluation you could be considered Tier I. You will need transcripts from your in classroom 11 years of schooling, then transcripts from the program you completed in your final year to send them off for a waiver. The Guard also has a GED+ program, that may be what the recruiter is referring to. It takes people that don't have a diploma or GED and sends them to a prep school before BCT. If you decide to get the college credits - they must be 15 classroom credit hours, 100+ level courses. Credits through CLEP, DANTES etc. DO NOT COUNT. Credits obtained by testing don't fulfill this requirement. 6 week winter sessions start soon and it's possible to take 5 classes if you work hard at it.
Incorrect CCAF Transcript?
I've been out of the Air Force since 2006. I just recently sent out a request for a copy of my CCAF transcript and upon recieving it, realized it STILL hasn't been updated. I say STILL because I joined the USAF as a BMET, but soon after decided to opt for another career. I went to BMET tech school for a little while, then attended Keesler AFB and became a Finance kid . Anyways, looking at my transcript, it appears as if they never updated this little tidbit of info...which happened back in 2002. Has anyone had to deal with this? How can I let these people know that someone hasn't done their job so they can fix it ASAP? Anyone got a phone number or e-mail address they can hook me up with? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. I had my heart set on getting this thing and seeing that it's incorrect...very frustrating to say the least. Thanks.
6F0X1, What college credits will I earn from tech school?
It will really depend upon your CC. You can show them your training and your certificates and see what they are willing to give you credit for. For basic and tech, you really don't get much. If you are lucky, some PE credits, history, and with your tech school... maybe a math. I suggest you talk to the ed center at your training base and a counselor at your CC.
If I join the US army straight out of high school, how high in rank can I go up?
Brian's answer is partially correct and partially incorrect. I will elaborate. As I type this an Army warrant officer (CW3) and an Army NCO (E-7) are sitting next to me. I, myself, was an Army Captain (O-3) and now work with NCOs and Officers in a training environment. Theoretically you can achieve E-10, CW3, or O-5 during a normal career. Your question does not state you will start college part-time while in the military. Many people do this and you certainly may as well. Many senior enlisted have masters degrees and some have PhDs, albeit a tiny percentage. You need a degree to become a commissioned officer. Then you can reasonable make Lieutenant Colonel during a 20-25 year career, assuming you commission within your first 5-6 years after graduating high school. The army has a ton of warrant officers. Some of them are pilots but most aren't. The ones in my physical vicinity are intelligence warrants. You do not technically need a degree. However, warrant officer selection is competitive. A degree helps set you apart from your peers. You can reasonably expect to make CW3 assuming you are selected for warrant officer after 5-7 years enlisted in the Army, during a 20 year career. Selection for the attainable enlisted ranks of E-8 and E-9 are also highly competitive. Though a degree is not required, it is recommended to help set yourself apart from your peers. As I look around the room, both warrants and all 4 NCOs are working part-time on either bachelors or masters degrees, and I am working on a doctorate. Lastly, NCOs do not get promoted to a new rank and retire two months later at that rank as Brian stated. Many NCOs choose to decline promotion because it typically adds a two year service obligation (ADSO). This may also be why many NCOs are offered key promotions around their 20 year mark when they would normally retire. You must also have a requisite amount of time in grade to retire at that grade. A few months would not qualify.
What's it like to attend the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF)?
Just like attending a local Community college, except they take credits from almost everyplace, to make you a custom degree. I would highly recommend this, as you can test out and get the same credits as taking the classes. Since I have been 18 I have tested out (CLEP) of General Math, English 101/102, Science - Earth Science, Intro to Computers. Only thing I had to take at a real college were Humanities classes - which at most college are a joke and an easy A.
