The laws governing withdrawals from IRA's can get pretty harsh. You may want to roll over to your TSP and after that take a TSP loan at the about 1% interest. That way as long as your payments stay current you won't have a tax hit.
I know you can early withdraw w/o penelty for school. Was hoping to be able to do the same to take from one retirement (IRA) and drop it into another retirement. It's 3% of what I earned while in and I'm guessing I'll owe about $10k from the rough math i applied and that is before they tack on the interst (been out for more than years) so ouch.
