I went to the Air Force Independent Duty Medical Technician School at Sheppard Air Force Base, as a Coast Guard member. Now... I was told that the Community College of the Air Force would not give me a transcript for the credits earned because I am not a member of that particular branch of service. Is this true? Is there a way around this?
I have a lot of credits from courses I have taken in the CG, but I would like to get what I can from the Air Force school, as it was very long and supposedly worth a lot of credit hours.

I went through my official channels and they said that they did not know of how to get the credits from another branch of service.
I got the same answer from the Air Force. "I dont know..." cannot be the final answer here, but that is what the "Officials" on both sides told me.

If the Air Force did not recognize the school as one of its own, i.e., Ranger School, Scuba School, it did not award college credit for it. Period, no argument and not a dang thing we could do about it. Arguments were even made when the school was a requirement for the AFSC; i.e., Pararescue and CCT require scuba and jump school, but even that was a resounding no. Now my knowledge of this is a little dated, I retired in 1999 and things may have changed since then. Good luck and don’t give up until the phrase, I don’t know can be fixed.

Sounds like a job for the SecDef. A mailing campaign to Congress could help. You could write a letter to Secretary Gates. FWIW, upon retiring I wrote the Secretary of the Air Force with my displeasure with the way my retirement was being handled and got my wish. I see no down side in a letter with your concerns.

I sure hope that there is a way to get the credits for the class. I will use the advice you provided. The class I took was the Air Force Independent Duty Medical Techician course. It was one of the more involved medical courses offered at Sheppard AFB and was told that it had a substantial amount of credits. It would be cool to be able to get them! I am trying to wrap up my degree and they would be very beneficial.
Thanks again for your help!

I squeezed 13 credits out of my USAF training.
not a bad deal IMO.
