When I transferred to American Military University in 2009, I had a year of credits from a traditional brick-and-mortar university and the vague impression that my military training was worth something. At the time I was a junior Marine in the Selected Marine Corps Reserve, with only a few PME courses under my belt, and no idea where to even find a record or the value of these courses. Fortunately I had excellent leadership, and I was directed to acquire what was then known as a SMART Transcript.
