GokkunMilkshake,
First, I'm just putting this out there for the sake of information and no I am NOT a recruiter. Since you served in the National Guard before, this might be an option for you.
The Army National Guard offers a $50,000 student loan repayment program for a 6 year enlistment. They pay $7500 a year on the loan, but you must fill out the form yourself, to request payment on the loan (this is done yearly).
While in the service all CLEP and DSST's, are free to military members. If you use a private testing center they might charge a proctoring fee, but most places will waive the fee because of your service.
Also, while in service you can use TA to pay for classes or you can use the Reserve GI Bill Ch 1606 which goes away once you get out of the National Guard.
I knew a soldier that got out of the National Guard, accumulated massive student loan debt and returned to the Guard, they paid most of his student loan debt off and He used the above mentioned benefits to get his BS and is currently in a Masters program. Most soldier's in the National Guard don't know about the free CLEP/DSST testing and the TA program, or they just don't look into it. Also, the 25 series MOS's, are the communication based MOS's.
