This is exactly what I am doing. As for my background: I was in the military for five years and got out. I had my Associates Degree finished via distance education by the time I ETS'd. After the military, I went to an FBO and earned all of my ratings, then I was hired by a regional carrier. I currently have 20 semester hours left until I finish my Computer Science Bachelor's Degree. My degree is a distance learning degree, but I did have to take a few classes in a brick and mortar building. So, yes, it is possible.
I had the military to pay for all of my school and 60% of my ratings. I wouldn't be able to get my ratings and finish college without help from the VA. Be careful about holding off on school, maybe you have the money now, and won't after a while. Just as a word of caution once you stop school it is REALLY hard to start going again.
