Try looking at a 2 year college. They offer pvt to cfi in less than 2 years and you can still use your GI bill benefits depending on the school. Once you complete the associates then you can transfer all the credits to ERAU to finish up the bachelors. The programs tend to be less structured. Most the schools use an outside FBO or flight school to provide the training so you can go at your own pace for the flight ratings. I know a lot of students who used this method with their VA benefits, some even got their CFI in less than a year, and were teaching at the flight school right away to build hours while finishing up the rest of the degree requirements.
