If you're looking for an instant Associates, the Pierpont or WVNCC BOG AAS will only cost you "transcripts". Just need to note that you have to have at minimum 12 credits from a Regionally Accredited college/university (you mentioned you attended 3, so hopefully you have enough of them). The rest can be transferred in from various sources including testing, you may already have enough credits for an AAS from them! Practically "an instant (make take a few months for processing, they're slow) and free" BOG AAS degree!

As you mentioned in your earlier 1st post and since you're military, you get a free application to Excelsior college. I would go further with them to get your evaluation done as well. Again, the only thing you're doing is to find out which of the Big 3 will take your credits the most, the cost is the "transcripts". One more thing to note is the Bachelors Major/Area Of Study - you need to decide on that, it seems you are just wanting a cheap/easy/fast degree, then the BALS no concentration would be your best option at all 3.
Finally, a break down of the cost of attending either of the three, this does not include any courses/fees you will need to transfer.
