Any advice for Marine wanting to become a pilot?

Hi. I'm in the Marines, and have always aspired to become a pilot. Today I saw an article on USA Today discussing how the Airline industry is going to be soaring for new pilots, within the next 10 years. It kind of got my hopes up again. Seeing as I only have a few years left in the Corps, and the new G.I bill will be covering flight training. It almost seems it was meant to be. Any advice? Preferably from current pilots.
