Check out the University of Washington. They accept corpsmen on a regular basis and PA's are needed everywhere. If you already have a good grasp on common medications and can start an IV you should be able to get into an undergrad PA or nursing program without difficulty. If you enjoyed working in blood bank (and God bless you if you did) you should consider applying to an MT or MLT program.
