Training for credits in ODU military program?

I've heard that Old Dominion University has courses which provide college credit for military training. Does anyone have any insight into how this works and how much credit you can potentially earn?

Old Dominion University is known to offer credits for military training as part of their military-friendly initiatives. As part of this program, the university reviews military training and experience, indicated on your Joint Services Transcript or Community College of the Air Force Transcript, to evaluate its applicability towards your chosen degree program.

The credits you can earn all depend on the nature and duration of your training, the correlation to the courses within your chosen program, and the guidelines set by Old Dominion University. The credits are typically elective but can also satisfy other requirements if equivalent to existing courses at ODU.

Another great option is the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST), which can allow you to gain college credit for knowledge you already have and are potentially free for most active duty, reserve, or National Guard service members.

While it's hard to say exactly how many credits you can receive without specific details of your training and degree program, the university encourages students to submit transcripts for review through a free unofficial transfer evaluation. You'll likely want to work closely with an academic advisor at the university who can guide you through the assessment process. Remember, the ultimate aim here is to ensure you benefit from the valuable training you have had during service and avoid unnecessary repetition of coursework.
