ACE credit for possible military enlistment?

[graduatesoon]

Hi all,

My teenage son is considering his options, and one of them is enlisting right after high school.  He's thinking Navy, and I know that they give you a higher rank for having a certain amount of college credit.

Can anyone tell me if ACE credit counts, including CLEP?  And if they will take it off an ACE transcript, or does it have to be on a college transcript?  And if so, what would you suggest as the easiest way to do this?

Thanks for your help - I'm in new territory here and don't want to screw this up.

Military willl accept credit that is ACE accredited.

"Online or distant learning must be from a U.S. community college, college, or university accredited for postsecondary education and listed in the Accredited Institutions of Post Secondary Education published by the American Council on Education. Classes must be of the 100 and higher variety as remedial courses are NOT authorized for use in determining whether you qualify for Advanced Pay-grade. "

Study.Com, CLEP and Sophia are on the approved list so check the list for any questions.

Make sure everything is in your contract.

A quick Google give Nukes a six + figure salary on the outside. But airline pilots have that also.
Grab all the schools they will give you.
If he decides to try for the officer programs CLEP wiill transfer and knock out his GE
in many but not alll the schools they can send him.

Wish you the best and God Bless.
