The 18 credit requirement is part of the military TA deal. They will accept the military TA and waive the annual enrollment fee, but in exchange you must complete 6 classes / 18 credits "in residence" through them. Of course, this way they make roughly the equivalent of two years of enrollment fees anyway.
BUT military TA will not pay for a lateral (second) degree. You can only go forward, i.e. one associates -> one bachelor's -> one master's, and it stops once you get your master's. The exception in the Air Force is that it will also pay to get your CCAF degree regardless of where you are.
This does not count the GI Bill, which is a completely different program with different rules and different pots of money.
