I think doing a 3-4 year active tour is a not a bad deal. if you're in a fixed station environment (not deployed) you can even take night classes and weekend seminars. I got my Associate's that way. and then went on to further education afterwards.

I guess it would be easy to think that way, but I did my enlisted time, Reserve, deployed to a very small war during that time, and was also ROTC, had to turn down my commission as my husband was being sent to Germany and we had 2 little kids. son grew up to be a SEAL ;o)
