Default Reserves inquiry

Hi all,

I'm a female in my early 20s and have a great job as a full-time tech consultant, making pretty good money, and am about to graduate with a master's degree. I have been brainstorming ideas as to how to reduce my college loan debt (about 17k) and have been looking into part-time military opportunities.

After working in the private sector for about 2 years (possess a clearance), I've come into contact with a number of military folks who have sparked an interest in me and the idea has popped into my head of killing two birds with one stone. Do any of you have experience and/or knowledge in how one might go about maintaining their full-time job with my consulting firm and also join a service part-time? (I've read there are many reservists, for example, that work one weekend a month and devote a little extra time on the side during weekdays annually.) The Coast Guard has definitely intrigued me and coming in as an officer, do they offer a program to repay your student loans?

I wanted to see if folks had some ideas, suggestions, etc. prior to me contracting a recruiter. Any information you can provide on this topic is most appreciated. Thanks for your help!
