I figured that, that's why I put maybe only 4 credits at the bottom of my JST. I also did not factor those six credits into the 119 I referenced. But, thank you!

I really appreciate that. Please take your time. I do not want to be pushy at all. You are doing me a huge favor.

Thank you! You are a huge help! If you have the chance to take a stab at Intl Studies I would appreciate it. That's the only one I haven't seen at all.
Also, do you think a degree in liberal studies would prevent me from being accepted into a graduate school. I currently have a 4.0 and I intend to graduate with one. That with my interrogator background in the military and my foreign language I hoped would be enough to get me into the security studies program I was looking at. It might also help to have the FEMA courses under my belt.

Thank you so much!
I am going to apply to Charter Oak, TESC and Northern Arizona University just to see what my options really are. Until my transcript is ready with my fall grades, I'm going to work on my FEMA credits. I earned one credit today.  I actually am enjoying learning about these things.

Crazy,
It looks like the 45 credits I earned at DLIFLC on their transcript is not the full pictures. I apparently also got ACE credit for taking the DLPT (final exam) for that language and credit is awarded separately for that.
On DLIFLC.edu there are DLI transcripts and then the ACE transcripts. I'm so confused but I hope that translates into more credit. LOL

The DLPT is more than just a final exam. If you take it again (as you will; it's an annual requirement for all linguists), and score higher, you can reapply for the transcript showing the higher score thus more credits. Also, depending on your unit, you can (read: should) snag refresher training before your next DLPT. Depending on the school, they can count for credit. Get with your Command Language Program Manager and/or CO Training NCO for more information on available training. That's all for mid-to-long term consideration, and depends on if you've ETS'd or not.

I've been out for 10 years now so for me the last one I took was my final exam.  I probably should have worded that differently so as not to confuse people. Thank you for that great info! I had actually forgotten about credits for AIT. I've been out so long...
