Heck at this point you are set for civilian life. So it come down to whether or not you are tired of serving your country. If you still feel you are making an impact...stay in. If not...get out. Most people join for the college money...you...it seems you have something left you want to do while in...or you would not be asking this question or feeling this way. Follow your heart.

Go civilian, because the Nation and the economy needs your brains and the business abilities.

Just by reading your question its obvious what you want to do. Heck, you had a good run, go out and show some civilians how shit is done!

Find a National Guard unit near where you'd like to live and then apply for either WOC or ICE once embedded with them. Meanwhile field your resume with companies you feel you'd like to work for and thrive. You may not like active duty, but part time Guard is pretty good and if you get either WO or Commission then your able to work towards a second retirement and retain the benefits for the time you've already invested. My .02 cents anyway!

Bird in the hand comes to mind, quick question with the education level you are at why or why not go to OCS
