I agree with you. I'll give you an absurd example. Military police officers are rejected by provincial police forces. A police officer is a police officer. And yet, they are not accepted. Consequently many military police officers become security guards. And yet they have the necessary skills to be police officers.
Honestly, I don't know the answer to your question as to whether an equivalency system could be set up in the military environment. Officers who have a BA already have established skills and equivalencies. The situations we are talking about are experienced by non-commissioned officers for the most part.
