My husband is currently 44E, looking into the BEAR program and favoring 35G. His CC is telling him he needs to get a copy of his transcript from a postsecondary school to be eligible? Why?

Because one, of the many, minimum qualifications for entry into this course is to have successfully completed (and be able to show proof of credit by official copy of transcript) 1 year of high school algebra or geometry. I'm sure you'd hate to find out that your husband was sent home from an Army School due to lack of proof or lack of required documents, etc.
His Career Counselor will be able to provide a complete listing of the prerequisites for this course.

He did not complete HS, but did get his GED, doesn't that count as an equivalent. If not, the training showed in that transcript is the same as the training he received in AIT. Which should more than cover it. If not he looked into CLEP tests which are offered in algebra, but not geometry.

The school he went to closed, due to the lack of state funding, 6 years ago. The repositors are deceased and the location of the archived transcripts can't be located. By state law they need to be maintained at least seven years after closing, so they must be somewhere. I have contacted previous employers to see if they have any records of his employment, but as is was more than 7 years ago, they do not. Any suggestions?

Sorry for all the questions, but I noticed in your post is said "...algebra or geometry." Anyway of verifying that it doesn't need to be both, as that's what he's been told thus far. If it only needed to be either, then I suppose CLEP for algebra would cover it now matter that there's no geometry available. Also, "many qualifications"?

I just provided the verification ... You can ask your husband's Career Counselor to check the "MOS Book" for the information I posted.

Also, not sure if CLEP counts (it should) but your Career Counselor can contact the MOS proponent for verification.

Thank you. I contacted his old HS, and though he didn't graduate he did pass both an algebra and a geometry class while there and will be able to get an official copy through them. Thank you again for the help and the clarifications in regards to requirements.
