Default Getting out in 6 months

Here is the deal...
Im getting out of the Army in six months, I have the whole package post 9/11 or montgomery, whichever I perfer. I think i get a better deal from the Post 9/11 (chapter 33) when it comes to flight training. Tuition is covered as well as flight cost/fees, depending on the University or College I attend. Montgomery GI bill will cover 60 percent of academy or FBO training. I am a Texas resident so I also get the hazlewood act which covers tuition even after the GI bill is used up.

The real question is what do you do in a situation like this?
The goal is career pilot...

The hard part is how do I go about getting there.

I could do my training through a university or college and get a degree in the aviation field and do this all loan free debt free.

Or I could use my montgomery GI bill at a FBO or academy take a small loan out for the 40 percent the GI bill doesnt cover and use the hazlewood act to get a degree in something other than Aviation. While I am doing the school I can have a side job as a CFI.

Thanks all
