There are a few diploma mills that will give you a few credits for your training. I went through avionics training (some of the most technical training besides nuke people can get) and SUI gave me a whopping 27 credit hours when I became an inspector. 27 whole hours. That's just a little short of an English class and a few electives. The CC I went to gave me 6 hours. When I went to a 'real' university, I got around 2 hours. (See, I also have experience with this.)

OK, I'll throw in my 2 cents as well. I first used the credit I was awarded for being an ET, along with 1 correspondence course, and about 5 CLEP tests to earn an Associates Degree from the University of Phoenix (maybe a diploma mill, but it still gave me points toward advancement). Years later, I enrolled at ODU (not a diploma mill) and received credit for all my lower level technical requirements through the Navy College Partnership Program. Combined with the 3 or 4 CLEPs they accepted, I ended up taking about 25 classes to earn my BS.

Now, if only they'd let me take the Engineering Management Masters program even though it's only for Nuke officers.
