Struggling to get into Army

[nj593]

Okay so a little update...I've been taking some of the tests some of them are instant results some are not. I took some on accident that I noticed wern't a full credit but half of one I guess so I took the other tests to get the full credit...If I pass the ones that take a few days I should probably have around 5-6 credits I'm hoping, lol. But when I complete 15-30, I'm thinking of just knocking out 30 because these tests have a lot of common sense on them....How do I get them turned into transcripts? About how much is it going to cost for 30 credits...and How do I show them which ones I have passed or what type of database holds all my info? I've kept all the certificates they've emailed me and I've even printed them out as I've passed them though I don't think its necessary, lol. It seems like it would be a lot to attatch to a form for 30 credits unless they just KNOW what's Ive taken by my name I guess...Anyway wish me luck I'm gonna keep knocking out as many as I can, I've been up for a LOOOONG time doing these but I feel like it's getting me somewhere! Thanks again for all the info and good words.

Like I said you should check with your recruiter that they will accept a credit bank. I would say go with TESC unless someone knows of a cheaper school. You would fill out your app $75.00 bucks and have your transcripts from FEMA sent there http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/downloads/tranrqst1.pdf
Then pay the credit bank fee at tesc which i believe is $400.00 app here Powered by Google Docs
Then wait about 4-6 weeks for the transcript to be done. Get on them every 2 weeks explaining you need it for the Army they might be quicker since they are military friendly at TESC.
But again clarify with your recruiter this will work if not a big waste of money.
If you are good with math pay $20.00 bucks and try to snap out some ALEKS math work too ALEKS Course Products they are about 3 undergrad credits also each. If you are good up to trig thats about 15 credits there. So in theory you could have 45 credit banked if you do 30 fema and 15 math. When you get done with A school then you can transfer some of that training at TESC into credit out of it. All said and done coming out of 6 months of Army doing the prereqs here you could be close to some sort of an associates degree through TESC.
Hope this helps. BUT CHECK WITH THE RECRUITER !
And make sure your final depart papers state everything you and your recruiter spoke about and agreed about. I think you stated you were doing this for your husband. But in the military you are the one facing it alone so get as much as you can.
