There isn’t anything that says you can’t go to grad school. Granted, you may not be able to go full time, but there are plenty of military officers who have gotten their master’s degree. Just like any other person with a job. They take night classes, correspondence, online, etc…

Also, is there some reason that you believe getting out of the military at 27 years old; and having spent those 5 years getting actual experience and getting your master’s, some how damages your chance of a career? I don’t know of any career; other than an athlete, where 27 years old is considered too old. Plus, in the “REAL” world; meaning not the academics world of make believe; those 5 years of experience if in your field of your degree, is much more valuable than a 24-25 year old with a master’s degree.
