Reneging Big4 Advisory for US Marine Corps

Long story short, an NYC BIG 4 offered a summer internship after I interned with them last summer with a signing deadline in September and after having a great summer with them I, without hesitation, signed the offer. Fast forward to November and a student turned terrorist runs over students at my university with his car and attacks them with a butcher knife all in the name of ISIS. I then began researching careers in national security, military, etc and last week was accepted to go to Officer Candidate School for the United States Marine Corps this summer. I loved my time and the people at the Big 4 and really don't want to burn a bridge but am afraid I have given myself no choice. Am going to call my Big 4 recruiter (never met nor never spoken with) later today but any words of advice for handling this delicate situation?
