Well you should see what (if any) courses you've taken with the military will transfer (Thomas Edison State College: Military Training) but then should start knocking out the General Education requirements with tests.

If you are good in a certain area or want to learn a specific area then I'd start with those tests. Otherwise the following should take care of your requirements:

-English Comp (with Essay) CLEP (6 credits)
-Analyze and Interpret Literature CLEP (6 Humanities credits)
-Humanities CLEP (6 credits)
-Take several history CLEP or DSST tests towards the Social Sciences credits
-Other good social sciences tests include Human/Cultural Geography, Psychology, Sociology, or Substance Abuse
-Algebra CLEP
-I'm not sure about Physics (required for your degree)
-Take another random test or two toward your free electives (or use FEMA courses)

Links for you to look at:
Your Degree: Thomas Edison State College: Electronics Engineering Technology
TESC Catalog (CLEP/DSST lists on 193-194): http://www.tesc.edu/documents/College_Ca...1-2012.pdf
CLEP Exams: CLEP Exams | CLEP
DSST Courses (Study Guides): Test Preparation | DSST | Get College Credit
Free Clep Prep (has DSST too), good as a secondary source to this site: Free Clep Prep.com
Best source: Search this site in the upper corner, lots of great information

Send me a private message if you have any questions on the tests I've taken (see below).

Good Luck!

Also look into ALEKS for math and Straighterline for most of your general education requirements.
