3. Request Your Offical Joint Service Transcript

Your Joint Service transcript describes your military schooling and work history in civilian terms, as a standard form, making it easier for colleges to read and recommend credits.

The American Council On Education is where you can request a military transcript. Go here to request one. Reducing the total number of courses you have to take to earn your degree can lower your total college expenses.
