Military or civilian investing

Right now I'm in the military so I have multiple opportunities in the future. The next place I have orders to is in Southern California where I will be for 1-2 years. 

I am looking for some guidance on what others would do. 

1. Stay in the military. Keep a steady job and have multiple properties in multiple states?

2. Get out. Go to college? What are some recommended degrees that apply to real estate and finance?

3. Get out and push towards being a real estate agent?

Current locations to invest would be:

1. Invest in Bend Oregon. My recent post explains so pros and cons.

2, Invest in California.

3. Invest in Las Vegas.

4. Or the last option which be to invest long distance how @David Greene's book explains.

I save 50% of my income, don't have any debt, and can go to college with my GI bill. 

Any advice would be much appreciated.
