In this Friday, April 11, 2014 photo, U.S. Army veteran Tim Koester poses outside the office building where he currently works for an investment firm in Cincinnati. Koester had to switch universities in Ohio to get college credit for his military experience, costing him time and money. A bill now in the state House of Representatives would establish a more uniform system for state colleges and universities in awarding credit for veterans’ military experience and make it easier for veterans to get credit for their military experience when seeking professional licenses.
