Don't let that discourage you.
AMU probably has a degree closely aligned to your MOS, they will award credit for all of your credit on your JST. From there, you'll plug the holes with CLEP and DSST ($0) and then you'll be left with 15-30 credits of classes (online) to take with them. They'll charge you the current TA rate ($249?) and ebooks will be INCLUDED in the cost. It's really a fantastic military option. FANTASTIC.
The class semesters are not super long, I wish I remembered, I think they are something like 6 weeks? That said, it shouldn't take you long at all. My suggestion is to stick with them, unless you're pursuing a mainstream degree like business or liberal arts- in that case, you can get more bang for your buck through the big 3.
