I should of been more specific. I'm planning on attending TSTC Air Academy in Abilene Tx. It does not have a degree program like the Waco campus.

So if you don't have a bachelor's, perhaps that should be the first step.
Secondly I am partial to US Aviation Academy of course but one thing I would note is that it is generally cheaper to do your training Part 141, not part 61. 141 however is more structured and takes a bit of a more full time dedication which would probably be easier to do after you finish your service.
After you get your CFI you will probably want to teach for a while to gain hours (and income). Might look at US Aviation for that as well since we just got a deal with American Eagle (see the US Aviation thread in this forum).

I do not have a bachelors degree (yet). I'm two classes away from my associates and then I will be pursing my bachelors. (Information Technology)
I will look into Us Aviation. But I just don't want to wait 3 years to even start the process.
