Good Tips.
- Military Education Transcripts. Following received from John F. Milohnick III ETCS, USCG Ret. Recently,
I was accepted for VA Vocational Rehabilitation. I needed a transcript of credits earned while I was on Active Duty.
I contacted the CG Institute and they prepared and forwarded a 'Military Education Transcript' to my school (Valdosta
State University). Good news! I can start working for a Masters degree instead of a Bachelors degree in education.
Congrats, John. Good luck in your continued education.
