Another angle of attack would be go see the recruiter at the ANG hanger. Enlist in the ANG as whatever flying position they have available - cargo loader basicly. Let them know you're interested in flying. Without a degree and a trip to OCS you won't get a pilot slot, but Flight Engineers are enlisted. Use your GI bill bennies to help fund your flight training (at a local FBO with a 141 course - not a flight academy) and when you're ready to get a flying job you'll have dozens of connections a stack of LOR's from your unit to help you get in the door.
