I'm an enlisted Air Force contract specialist (6C051), about to finish my APDP Lvl 1, then I will move on to my CCAF. I'm hoping to separate from the military in the next 3 years and reenter federal contracting as a civilian (1102). I have some questions about hireability in context of finishing my education. Does anyone have experience with how easy or difficult it is to transfer CCAF and DAU credits to a university? Can I really expect this to cover 50% of my Bachelor's? I currently have my hopes on completing Strayer University's "bachelor's of business administration with a concentration in acquisition and contract management." I prefer a concentration, and Strayer accepts both CCAF and DAU transfers. However, they are an online for-profit school (although accredited), which are sometimes automatically considered as "degree mills." I could use my TA for an online state university instead, which are more universally respected, but from my research, there are fewer that offer acquisition concentrations, they're less likely to accept these transfer credits, and they are also just more expensive. Would a for-profit college degree still make me competitive in Government hiring? I'm hoping to get hired at a specific Navy base once I'm civilian. Are there any pre-requisites or certification differences I need to prepare for in order cover my transition from Air Force contracting to Navy contracting?
