My plan is to start college classes as soon as possible. I only have one more month until I am eligible for the MGI Bill. I am hoping to take the minimum amount of classes required due to the training schedule. But I really want to get all of the general ed classes out of the way, so when my contract is over I can transfer to a university and be a student full time while still in the reserves and take ROTC. What I am in need of is some advice and what I can do make my plan more guaranteed. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions for me? Anything will help!

First and foremost, leave your GI bill alone while you're serving. You have access to Tuition Assistance which offers you up to $250 per credit hour, up to $4500 a year. Second, I would recommend online schooling if you're responsible enough to work on your own outside of the online requirements. Third, go see the education center on post and see what your options are for the second recommendation as well as other options if you can't handle it.
I got my bachelors done online through ASU, having done all my upper division while an active duty infantry NCO and using tuition assistance. It can be done if you're dedicated enough.

If you are active duty do not use your GI Bill. Use Tuition Assistance. Save your GI Bill for later.

SPC (Join to see) - Use tuition assistance. Go see the folks at the Ed Center and they can assist. My advice would be to not get into massive amounts of student loan debts. Use TA often. https://www.goarmyed.com/public/facility_pages/Fort_Bliss_Education_Center/default.asp
I'd also research Texas A&M and see if they have a satellite branch at Bliss like they do at Fort Hood.
