but anyways, after my last lesson this past week, I think I might just knock all my training out through my local flight school. They said they could do it for way cheaper than any big school, my time will be more flexible, and the biggest thing... I'll be able to keep working at my current job.
The info above on Post 9/11 is true for vocational flight training programs.
If training through an accredited college, such as US Aviation's associates degree program with Tarrant County College, the VA will pay for TCO minimums of Instrument, Commercial, Multi, and CFIs. The VA will not pay for Private Pilot though college loans (or some of your BAH) can be used to pay for Private.
