Advice for Army NG Soldier finding work in IT

I enlisted into the Army National Guard, and I am currently in AIT at Fort Gordon for the 25B MOS (IT Specialist). I have a year of college that I did before I joined and was wondering what would be the best path to take to obtain an entry level IT job. Should I get my certifications (A+, Net+, Sec+, CCNA) ASAP after I am done AIT, or should I use the Guard benefits to back to school and get my Bachelors degree. I would probably either study Computer Science or Electrical Engineering, as they are the degree programs that are most relevant to IT in my area. Thanks in advance.
