I was active in Navy for 4 years and active reserves (Seabees) for another 4 while going to school. I got mobilized to a Seabee unit in Mississippi during school.
I used to be part of the NY state militia when I was with the reserves. I remember they would pay for your state school tuition on top of the GI bill. You generally had to go to a few meetings a month (evening) and also do some additional work in the community or state government if asked.
Not sure all militias pack this program but for those that are trying to get a degree, it's not bad.
Good thread indeed.
