I have check out TCC and I have been trying for a couple weeks to get information from US Aviation Academy but all they keep sending me is the standard information packet haven't been able to contact anyone there. I'm currently enrolled at a 4 year University due to start in August. But now there is a chance that I will be attending flight school for the military so may be putting it on hold until I return but won't know for another year.

Stick with the non-aviation-related degree. ANY engineering degree would be a smart choice. Mine is in aeronautics and it's about as worthless as they get. True story, I applied to be a garbage man....didn't even get a call.
For training find a cheap school and use your Post 9/11 GI Bill for flight training. When I went to ERAU a few years ago, they didn't pay for flight training but I was able to add a Flight minor to my degree, so that way it was required for me to graduate. I think they changed that option because the VA was getting bills for ten times what just one normal student would cost, but it's worth looking into.
Or, go to a Part 141 school and the Bill should cover up to $10,000. It's not much, but it's still ten grand for flying.
