I'm just having a great news kick lately, aren't I?

A while back, I realized that my various stages of military training and education had almost earned me an associate's degree from the Community College of the Air Force. Even though I don't really work in a world where a 2-year degree means anything, I knew that having the CCAF degree couldn't hurt, and might be helpful if I ever apply for a position somewhere within the military. So, I sent my civilian transcript to CCAF to see if any outside courses would complete the requirements, and found out that I had everything satisfied except for 3 credits in Oral Communication (I've never taken a public speaking course).

Fortunately, CCAF will accept a certain number of credits through test-for-credit programs, and I signed up to take the public speaking DSST test. I left the test center feeling that I did great on the written portion, but lousy on the impromptu speech (I had 10 minutes to think about a topic, then 5 minutes to speak into a tape recorder). Well, I just got the news today that I passed both sections. Now I just need to see what I have to do to get that CCAF degree processed.

It will be kind of interesting to get my associates and bachelors degree at around the same time, huh?
