Take all the opinions with a grain of salt, of course you got to do your own thing and I wish you luck in whatever path you choose.
Echo the thanks for serving, Brother....
Did five active and three reserves before I got out. Out for 6 years, got an education with that G.I. Bill. Civilian life is very different. Wasn't so hard while I was a cop, very paramilitary. But being in an office felt like prision. Corporate Security is full of politics. If you stay the course, get the education. Do it in something you love to study, don't make it a "practical" choice. I got a BS in Business, very practical and doesn't make enough of a difference in what the degree is in, for most cases anyway. Should have studied Art, could still get the job I have, and I could have enjoyed all those long hours of working and going to school, or at least as much as possible...
I decided to go back in the Reserves. Been one year now, and am staying for a Retirement for sure this time. May even go Active again, after I get a few things working for me. Warrant Officer career and retirement will be a bit more profitable/challenging/rewarding than enlisted.
as I said before, grain of salt, and best wishes.
