I agree with everything you stated except the above (at least in Todays
military) is not possible. Bachelors degree required as a minimum.
If memory serves the Navy didn't require a bachelors a few years ago.
Maybe it
has changed.

Every service requires a Bachelors since at least 1988. There was a deal in
the Guard where you could get commissioned after your Junior year but you
had a maximum of 2 or 3 years to complete a Bachelors. Even then it's a
program that was hard to get.
