registration under N.J.A.C. 13:43-2.2, , may apply to the Board for recognition of the
applicant’s training, education, or experience received while serving as a member of the
Armed Forces, which the Board shall consider, together with any training, education, and
experience obtained outside of the Armed Forces, for determining substantial
equivalence to the training, education, and experience required for registration.
b) The Board shall register an applicant as a temporary registered reporter, if the applicant
presents evidence to the Board that:

2) The relevant training, experience, and education the applicant received in the military,
together with any training, education, and experience obtained outside of the Armed
