Hey jetmech68, good to hear from you and maybe we can share some info being we are in the same kind of boat.
Yes, REBEL100 here on this forum has been an excellent source of information here and has provided me with some super insight to TESC and what I possibly could need. I did send from all my sources to send transcripts to TESC to see where I possibly stand. From what it looks like, I could only need a few courses, of which mostly can be done via Aleks/straigherline. Upon finishing those, I understand I may have to take a course or two via TESC as I enroll, and that is where the big bucks come into play. It does seem to me that since Aviation Maintenance played a big part into what I can get inasfar as a Bachelors, the BSAST in Aviation Maintenance Technology, it only makes sense to follow this path to get the maximum credits I have accrued thus far allocated into this degree. Why go for another degree like in buisness or anything else where my aviation or FAA credits would not count right? So I'll need to get off my duff, submit TESC my FAA license copy with notarization, and application. I was kind of buying some time for all my schools to send in the transcripts. I had to send them from 6 different locations. I was just giving them time to all get sent in, then I'll apply. I was told that they would begin a folder on me so, I figure maybe next week I'll apply. I should call them too to make sure they got everything. When I get that information, I will post them right here for all to see. Yea, keep in touch.

I am Air Force Reserves and have had my A&P since 1991. I just finished mapping out what CLEPS I am going to take to get the BSAST Aviation Maintenance Technology Degree. I know with the CCAF degree it is the same, however, all I need to finish up is the general education courses. Let me know what and how they offer your existing credits. I just started on the FEMA courses and studying the Sociology CLEP. I would like to have this degree finished up by the end of spring. I am working in the Aerospace industry and have been for the last 15 or so years.
Good Luck!
Jack
