I think option #1 is the best way to go. Completeing the Flight certs and working to a different major will be the best for him. He should be able to get a job as a CFI while attending school for a different degree. This means income from the CFI job and Income from the GI Bill's Housing allowance. Build flight hours - get paid - go to school
If that's the case, he may want to check out Aviator College, formerly known as AriBen. After completing their two-year degree program, college students will have received a minimum of 565 flight training hours in the aviation degree program. Most of which is multi-engine. Graduates will have the opportunity to stay on as a flight instructor.
