100% agree with Continue testing out on all CLEP/DSST credits while free. Do them "all" even if you do not think you need them.
I would enroll in Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC) as they take your military JST and put them in real college credit classes with a grade of NC (noncourse) and they are below-the-line credits at FTCC. The Leadership and Management Certificate is only 12 SH and NCOs get these JST credits. Most EM MOS will also. Just take an online class at FTCC to earn it. About 20 colleges will accept the FTCC block AS degree towards their BS degrees.
Excelsior College is always ranked higher for military and Veterans of the Big 3. 40% of Excelsior College students are these two groups. They do not hang out here.
Use a mere 5-days of your 100% Post 9/11 GI Bill later to attend an Ivy League college like the Harvard Kennedy School to become an official Alumni. Add some spice to a no brand name education section on your resume/CV.
