I'm fully aware of this. I was in the military. I know all about officers with their useless degrees and their online complete your MBA or whatever else degree in 12 months. Many online 'military friendly' colleges accept tons of credits for your military training and offer classes whenever you have time to take them and mail you out a diploma. I finished 3 such useless degrees from accredited schools.

Edit: I also had a coworker that finished his bachelors at age 19. Excelsior, a 'military friendly' accredited university, accepts 60 credits from our military school, plus an additional 25 for him for testing in another language. 85 credits, almost 3 years of college, by age 18. The remaining 30 some basic credits he needed was completed with 11(?) free CLEP and DANTES tests, study material readily provided, averaging one test per week. Shortly after turning 19, with never stepping foot inside a college, he had a college diploma. That is how easy it is from one of these schools.
