Not so long ago, military veterans trying to get college credit for their time in the service could do so, but only if they could convince their college that their training equaled a course.
Jay Favuzzi, a veteran of two Army tours in Afghanistan, was granted 21 credit hours from State University of New York-Potsdam in 2002, but only after “basically doing a 20-page paper” and navigating military bureaucracy to make his case.
