I don't mean West Point or "military schools"

Short answer? Not really.
The military offers training in relevance to your job, so it is more like a apprenticeship or a traineeship.

They are similar in that they are institutions that educate people.

My brain is like mush so that is as far as I got.

My body considers any physical movement or attempt to leave my chair as self-harming.

I've enlisted in the US Navy, and all though I cannot speak for the other branches, I can say that the Navy DOES count toward college.

For example, in my field, by the time I'm half way through with "A" school (our job specific schools) I will already have the equivalent of a bachelors degree in college credits. That means that at any point in my life, I can transfer those credits to any school that will accept most or all of them, and have a bachelors degree without doing any thesis papers or bullshit like that.

Also, it depends on the job. I have a friend who has 168 credits at this point in his career and he's been there for only a few years. (Ps, that's nearly a master's degree)

Most police agencies require 60 college credits in order to be hired as an officer and 2 years of military service makes you exempt from the college credits
