I hope you're getting the same rate that everybody else there does. If not you're being taken advantage of and that flight school owner should be shot for taking advantage of a group of people that have sacrificed a TON for this country.
If you're close to being tapped, find somewhere that costs less.
I do have a four year degree and am almost done with my masters. Both from ERAU BS- Professional Aeronautics, Masters - Aeronautical Science. The Air Force has paid every penny for both except some of the cost of books. For floight training, I was given an upfront cost to do it before ever starting. I then did the training for less than the quoted amount and was reimbursed 60 percent of the cost by using the GIBILL. I went to a school that was recommended by the VA and I knew other guys that had used it. I am sure some schools take advantage but I researched it carefully
