Change of options - Seeking Advice
#3
My very first thought was that TESC or Excelsior might accept more credits than ISU did from your military training, so you might be closer than you think. TESC has a BSAST in military technology leadership that would work well with the credits you have. They also have a BA in Natural Science and Mathematics that would be easier to test out of than a straight-up math degree; most of your military training would be used as free electives, although some of those courses might be counted as computer science.

Since TESC offers a big cost reduction if you takes at least 7 of their TECEP tests (like CLEP/DSST), you could start with taking their TECEPs in English Composition II, Technical Writing, Environmental Ethics, Statistics, Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics, College Algebra, Science of Nutrition. These exams would work for both the BSAST and BA in Natural Science/ Math options.

As for the street cred of a degree from a place called "Thomas Edison State College," most of the people on this board have found that while it isn't Harvard, it works perfectly well in terms of jobs and respect in the wider community.
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.
