just to throw another option out there- reserves of most any branch and the national guard/air national guard like picking up prior service no matter which branch you're coming from. there may be an enlistment bonus as well, depending on career field. I'm air guard, so I can't speak to what the others can offer you, but we do offer in-state tuition assistance, the gi bill kicker, student loan repayment as well as technical training in a career field. some of our training crosses over to the civilian world better than the other branches. Another big plus is the retirement if you want to stick it out for 20 years altogether(your active duty time already counts as big time retirement points) if you're interested, any of the recruiters from any branch should be happy to help.
