United States Air Force Education Benefits

SSgt. Taylor Holt, the U.S. Air Force Enlisted Accessions Recruiter at the 314th
Air Force Recruiting Squadron in Scranton, has announced a program that allows Air Force
training to count as college credit toward an associate degree from the Community College of
the Air Force(CCAF). All active duty Air Force members are automatically enrolled in the
program that provides transferable, accredited college credits upon completion of technical
school, basic military training(BMT), and upgrade training. The CCAF is accredited by the
Southern Commission of Colleges and Schools.

Other education benefits from the Air University include a unique “Associates-to-Baccalaureates”
initiative between the Air Force and civilian higher education institutions, offering baccalaureate
degree opportunities to every Air Force enlisted member.

“Unlike common perception, we in the U.S. Air Force are more than just pilots. In fact, the
majority of service members lead careers in finance, administration, engineering, cyber security,
maintenance, and more,” explained SSgt Holt, who was recently named Enlisted Accessions
Recruiter in the Scranton office serving most of northeastern Pennsylvania. Prior to his new
position, SSgt. Holt served as a Munition Systems Technician and has been an Airman for over a
decade.
