One caveat, which I highly recommend: If you go the CC route, Do Not use your GI Bill your first year. Just in case you end up in remedial classes or classes that may not transfer to your State Uni. The second half of your first year is when I would get the ball rolling on your GI Bill. Then you have your ducks in a row when you begin your 2nd year at the CC and you start to receive a nice monthly check.
Now you have one year of CC with hopefully 3/4+ of classes that will transfer and go towards your undergrad, and now you have 4 full years of your GI Bill to complete your degree.
The first year will suck paying out of pocket, but it will be worth the short-term pain.
