You don't receive any college credits for AIT or anything in the military unless it is part of an accredited program by a college. While their peers are working on their bachelor's, they are just getting close to finishing an associate's. I know many others who are regretting having passed up the opportunity and are making up for it now. It took me 8-years after finishing AIT to get my priorities together and finish the AAS, but if I hadn't obtained those previous Cochise College credits from AIT and ALC, I would have been SIGNIFICANTLY further behind. Cost-wise, it costs you only about $50 or so (might have changed), versus the common $250 per credit ($5000 for 20 credits) that it costs the the government in usual Tuition Assistance funding. 20 credits is about 7 classes (3 credits per class), which can be the equivalent to about 14-months of effort once you're at your first active duty unit (if you take consecutive single 8-week classes). It will save you a significant amount of time and money in the long run, as long as you actually finish the degree and progress to another. You can still possibly transfer those credits to your current school. SPC (Join to see) Whatever you do, don't pass up on the credits that Cochise College will offer you on the multiple occasions you will go through there in your career, regardless of the school you are attending at the time. While the last 15 were worthless toward the already completed AAS, they can still potentially count toward a Bachelor's degree, of which mine did. Years later after I had already completed the AAS, they awarded another 15 resident credits for completion of SLC (varies per MOS). Then when it came to transfer credit, they awarded a total of 32 transfer credits from AARTS, which were a combination of Basic Training, Airborne School, WLC, and other AARTS related stuff some of it overlapped though. Later they awarded 10 resident credits for ALC (varies per MOS).
I went through 97B (35L) school in 2004 and Cochise College awarded me 20 resident credits (the amount varies per MOS).
On the transcript, it's as though you took the classes directly through Cochise College. Upon completion of the military school, those who signed-up pay the Cochise College representatives about $50 or so and they award a specific amount of resident credit toward their Associate of Applied Science in Intelligence Operations Studies. Cochise College representatives show up at the early portions of the course and you can voluntarily fill out their enrollment paperwork. For 35-Series MOSs, the local Cochise College on Fort Huachuca awards direct resident credit for AIT and NCOES schools.
