- Current or highest enlisted rank
- Military status (active or inactive)*
- Additional Skill Identifiers (ASI) and Skill Qualification identifiers (SQI)
- Formal military courses
- Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) held Standardized test scores
- Descriptions and credit recommendations developed by ACE

Navy and Marine Corps Transcripts
Joint Service Transcripts (JST) is now available to document American Council on Education (ACE) recommended college credit for military training and occupational experience. JST is an academically accepted record that is validated by ACE. The primary purpose of JST is to assist service members in obtaining college credit for their military experience.
JST has replaced the DD295, the Application for Evaluation of Learning Experiences during Military Service, which is the form currently submitted to colleges by Sailors and Marines to verify their military experiences. The DD295 may still be necessary to document some training and experience that is not contained in and cannot be added to current personnel and training databases.
You can find out more about JST, what a JST contains, how to get a JST or make corrections to your transcript online.
Designate that your official JST be mailed to:
