If you're taking MOOCs from MIT, Stanford, UNSW and others can you really say that university CS curricula taught you nothing? They probably taught you quite a bit since, well, you took their courses.
You were just overprepared for an undergraduate degree by the time you got around to trying for it. For anyone else taking a similar path, specifically the military part, you can often knock out an associates degree with that amount of military experience. Do it, you can skip most of the core curriculum and focus on the CS part and be done in 2-3 years (less if summer courses are available) and be in grad school in your 3rd or 4th your of full-time college education.
