Go to www.esgr.com for lots of good info. Try to get your employer to provide continued health benefits or your family while you are in training, many have been persuaded to do so. Also, consider switching jobs to an employer recognized by ESGR, you might be able to get some pay differential that way. Just be sure to be honest about your involvement with the Guard upfront, so they don't feel betrayed later.
Consolidate any federal student loans and put them on an income-contingent payment plan.
Good luck.
