First things first, use your spare time to get a bachelors degree in something/anything assuming you don’t already have one.
Next reach out in the low time part 91 forum as you are posting in the step 10 forum of a ten stop process.
But in a nutshell use your va benefits to go to flight school, get a low time pilot job, qualify for an ATP, then apply to an airline.
Other route good for you: join an ANG outfit that flies planes in your home state or a state you want to live in when eligible to leave active duty navy. Do a great job in that unit and get them to send you to flight school and then log flight time all the while getting more time serving your country. Apply to airline as an ANG reservist.
