I am having a hard time figuring out what costs are "out-of-pocket" when using the post 9/11 GI Bill. Are we saying that, with a good program, there should be few to no fees/costs getting an associates degree and already having a bachelor's/private pilot?

yes, as long as you don't require extra time (which I didn't).

Hey what is your overall goal with the GI bill? Are you trying to get your airplane licenses or helo??

I have used my Post 9/11 and have paid almost nothing in fees. Some of the fees you have to pay for are checkride fees (vary depending on where you live but mine were $450), my headset, and software flight planning fees. The VA gives you a good chunk of money for books which should cover all of the required reading. Does this answer your question? If you need help picking schools I can help you out there as well.
