It's good for two reasons. One the work you did as an enlisted man counts towards a degree. You are enrolled in the CCAF. Make sure you get that degree. It's practically free. In addition, take all that credit and your transcript to a 4 year degree.
Second, employers like honorable service and a good track record. If you were enlisted and did well, all employers will feel that time is good time to have. It demonstrated predictability and stability in behavior and job performance.
Get that degree!
I did 8 years enlisted service.
You can do it!
