I am a SME on how financial aid and the GI bill work, I make sure all of my buddies have their GI bill set up and that they are getting the proper $ for school.
Now we're talking. Ever look into financial aid jobs?
An entry level financial aid coordinator makes about $40k, and college CFOs average $147k. And there are a TON of jobs in between. Higher ed benefits are usually pretty good.

Yep, higher ed fin aid jobs are one career path with solid benefits. But it's indoors...
You like being outside...you like shooting. Ever considered a career in law enforcement? Your military background will put you ahead of the curve. Patrol deputies in rural areas do all sorts of interesting things...even if you don't want to do law enforcement as a long term career, you might consider being a reserve deputy. Those guys get commissioned and work special events, holidays (think mardi gras) and similar situations. Practically every parish has a sheriff's qualifying gun range; every range has a rangemaster...someone handles the firearms supply room in every police force in the state. You might even be potential training academy instructor material after a few years of active duty police work.
Wildlife enforcement agents (aka game wardens) are outside all the damn time, and they're directly involved in the sort of things you like. With a degree plus veterans preference points, you'll have a leg up on the average civil service applicant angling for those jobs.
My philosophy is not about stacking up the benjamins so you can afford to play on weekends. It's more about making sure your daily work feeds your happiness. Your halfhearted academic career seems to demonstrate that you'd rather be doing than thinking. So go "do".
Property management for a hunting club or conservation organization...firearms/concealed carry instructor at a local gun range...
