Hey I am a National Guardman who has completed a tour of duty in afghanistan and am slated to get out in December. I will have finished my bachelors with a non technical major by May of 2011 and I am getting PRK next month. Other than that does anyone know what else might be able to help get a slot as either an Aviator or a NAval Flight Officer in the Marine Corps or NAvy? And does my previous Military expirience give me a leg up ?

I think you'll discover that the Navy typically looks at the whole person. That is each applicant is evaluated in totality. I don't think being prior service in and of itself will be a determining factor in selection. Rather, it may aid in demonstrating experience. I don't think military experience will do much to overcome low ASTB scores, GPA, or less than strong recommendations. It's in you best interest to complete your degree with a high GPA, rock the ASTB and get the best recommendations as possible.
I'll allow my aviator brethren to opine.
