How to open a degree college?

How much college credit does a yeoman in the Navy recieve towards a college degree? And what type of degree?

• Answer:

  It depends on his pay grade, which schools he's attended, and when. http://www.militaryguides.acenet.edu/ShowAceOccupations.asp?aceid=NER-YN-004 is the entry for a present YN for just the occupational identifier. A YN3 would be looking at about 9 hours whereas Master Chief would see much more. YN class A1 in the present course is about 6 semester hours (http://www.militaryguides.acenet.edu/ShowAceCourses.asp?aceid=NV-1409-0012 ) whereas YN Advanced Administration course is another 6. Thing is, those hours have to be in something you're getting a degree in and at the right level. These won't be very helpful getting a BS in Phsyics but if you'd like an AAS in Administrative Office Technology then they fit perfect. Most of these credit recommendations are based on learning and not experience. Just being assigned on a submarine isn't learning but the courses and training you're required to take before being assigned are - those are what's worth credit. All YN's (or anything else) don't always all take the same courses - some become very specialized or even cross-train. Everything depends on which you do. Some do nothing at all but go to work each day - they don't benefit. Also know that all colleges and universities don't award credit based on ACE recommendations. More do than most people realize but not all. At most colleges even the academic advisers don't know about this stuff - you have to find the person who knows about military sorts of things.
