Sounds like you have credits towards a college degree, but no degree yet? If you’re near halfway along, I would get whatever degree possible & get going with the flight training.
If you transfer to Riddle you may be taking half a step backwards towards that college degree. You can search out accelerated flight training in a bunch of locations.
Yes, $$ is usually an issue. Providing you don’t have any medical hurdles, I’d up get going on flight training. Set your sights on Private Pilot to start.
Evaluate how to best use the G.I. Bill benefits, how they stack up with academic of flight training.
