Anyone know of some good, regionally accredited colleges that offer online MBAs
Start with your state schools, many are offering distance alternatives with little to no campus time. You should be able to find an online option for every 1 out of 3 that you look at. The LAST place to look is online schools. Also, are the business folks here can direct you to the business school accreditation that people like to see, can't think of it off the top of my head.
that takes a good number of clep
zero. CLEP is 100/200 level credit. An MBA is 500/600 level credit. What you MAY find, is an MBA allowing you to back fill a prereq with a CLEP. For instance, if your undergrad degree is not in business and they want you to have taken precal, maybe you can use the precal CLEP to hit the requirement. Varies highly, check with specific schools.
+ transfer credits
a few accept 6-9 but that's unusual. Generally, you start and finish at the same school.
and has courses that can be paid in full by AF tuition assistance ($250 a credit)?
For sure APUS is in that price range. Try New Mexico universities, at least 2-3 and they are generally low tuition. Best suggestion, your own in-state tuition is likely to be right at or under this cost. Arkansas also cheap state tuition.
Before I get in the routine of taking a ton of tesc classes I'm trying to looki for a college that has a good MBA degree so I don't have to retake classes since alot of in house college requirements
Do you mean prereqs? Best way to avoid retakes is to take an undergrad business degree (not liberal arts). Be sure to check your top 10 fav list and see if you're missing anything. If one school wants precal and another wants calc, then do both. If one school wants speech but no one else does, take speech anyway. Use your elective slots to fill in any possible wildcard prereqs that come up and you'll be set.

I'm not sure I understand this.
