. Then, doing CFI in the Summer or Fall following year if your heart desires. You can even start submitting applications to a big university after that and already be sitting pretty!
Thanks for the heads up. I'm open to all possibilities there, I don't care how I build the time, I'm not picky. I just want to make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck with the VA money.

Yeah, I know it's a pipe dream but it's sounds like the easiest way to go to school and only focus on flight. I worked my way through college for my B.S. degree, and I really don't want that kind of stress again.
