I wish I had known more about educational benefits for veterans. Although most people are aware of the GI Bill, additional programs also exist

VA education and training benefits | Veterans Affairs
Find out if you're eligible and how to apply for VA education benefits for Veterans, service members, and their qualified family members. VA education and training benefits can help you pay for college tuition, find the right school or training program, get career counseling, and more.

I was a Texas resident, but retired (and remained in) Utah. Texas does not have state income taxes, Utah does - I forgot to change my income withholding, and got an unwelcome $$$ surprise when I filed taxes for the first time as a civilian (again) the following year. I knew, but wish I had been reminded, about state taxes.
