<p>He does not need to lose everything. Does he have enough credits to build a general education AA? If so, he can do this through the Navy college programs once he hits the fleet. That's what I did with mine. After one year at his first command, he can potentially enroll in one of many colleges with free Navy tuition assistance, transfer many of his credits, and preserve his credits as a continuing student.

<p>He does not need to lose everything. Does he have enough credits to build a general education AA? If so, he can do this through the Navy college programs once he hits the fleet. That's what I did with mine. After one year at his first command, he can potentially enroll in one of many colleges with free Navy tuition assistance, transfer many of his credits, and preserve his credits as a continuing student. Essentially, he can reset the clock on those credits by either getting them into a degree which can be used to build other degrees, or by becoming a transfer student. While it is incredibly difficult for a busy nuke to complete a degree while active duty, it is not impossible to make moves to protect what they have already earned. </p>
<p>I also believe the Navy can set them up to retake the ACT/SAT again for free. I never took the ACT a second time after 1977, because I rolled my credits into an AA. It was universally accepted after that, turned it into a BS after I separated from active duty, which became the building block for more education via the VA. Whee. </p>
