Gov't jobs with real fixed retirements (defined benefit plans) generally require a BS. I agree AAS degrees are excellent and provide real skills, but it depends on your goal. I aim towards careers (triple dipper) with defined benefit plans not sexy titles nor high pay high turn over fields.
The military should do away with the civilian college paper degree mentality and educate and train their own. Same with other industries.

Private universities require gen ed and always have, and the government does not directly accredit schools unless you're talking about the state of New York which only accredits 22 colleges. Accrediting agencies are private organizations. There are many good-paying jobs that only require an associate's degree or certificate of training. A lot of these jobs have shortages of qualified workers, so go for it.
