(You’re reminding me of one of the characters in Assaf Gavron’s “The Hilltop” 
)
Have you run Net Price Calculators to see if the schools are affordable for your family? I’m assuming you entered the Army straight out of high school at 18, so by age you won’t be considered an independent student–your family’s income will still be a consideration.
You say that you aren’t looking for a specific type of college experience, but you may want to see if any of the schools you are considering have a significant population of students with military experience and/or Israelis. Ask on the College Search and Selection and/or the Parents forum for suggestions of top schools which have these communities.
What other schools are on the rest of your list? Everything so far is a reach.
