How do I turn my basic training into civilian education promotion points?

I just got my promotion status and I heard you can mail in your basic training stuff to a college and turn them into like 30 credit hours. What college do I go to and how does the process work?
No, I am not in the freakin National Guard, I just got my P and based on this months cutoff scores I only need like 30 more points to get E5 if the points stay around the same area. So I’m just trying to find ways of getting some quick and easy extra points.

No one in the "real" world cares about your basic training experience, even though they’ll smile in your face and pretend that they do. How does shooting an M-16 A-2 amd ruck marching have anything to do with civilan life? You got scamed by a recruiter…I assume you’re either in the National Guard or reservist based on the fact you’re attending college. The only college credit you’ll get for going through basic is for the PE class you’ll have to take.
