I'm a fan.

I dreamed of being a Marine Naval Aviator... stupid childhood asthma.

There are hundreds.

Are you free to travel? How far?
Do you want to use vet benefits to pay?
Are you a pilot career student?
Are you a foreigner in the US just for flight training purposes?
Do you also want to do college coursework as part of the deal?
Are you paying out of pocket using discretionary income?
Are you in a hurry?

Lets get those items out of the way first.

It is florida after all. You can't throw a rock without it landing in a flight school's back yard. The trick is finding the good ones. I would suggest shying away from many of the big brand schools in the Daytona area. Find a good "mom and pop" school somewhere and stick with it.

If you want to goto ERAU then I highly advise going through their satellite programs. Otherwise you would be paying an unnecessary amount for education and flight training that would be extremely hard to payoff on a greenhorn pilot's salary.
