I have been in the guard for 8 years as a Combat Medic (91W) which has been reclassified as a Trauma Specialist. My ETS date is 9/26/06, and I was planning on re-enlisting if I qualified for the $20,000 lump sum.

So my first question is do I qualify? No, I have never had any prior bonuses.

Second question is, if I do qualify, and re-enlist, how do I take advantage of the GI Bill, GI kicker, federal & state tuition assistance? where do I find out if my school qualifies? I want to be an esthetician (skin doc) but the training for that field is only trade schools. I left a message to talk with my local recruiter, but is there somewhere online that can tell me how much I get from what source, and if any of these trade schools are covered in that?
