Do yourself a favor and save as much as possible and prepare for the worst. Hopefully this bill will be overturned, but for now there is very little information being given by the VA and it looks like our free ride for flight training is on the chopping block.
Are you in their 4 year program at Auburn? In one year i can save 30-35 k from my job I think and that should be enough to get me by two years of an AS degree (assuming the VA still pays for more if it's going toward a degree vs just a 10-12 month flight program)
