Do you still get a check every month after you are finished with your 4 years in

No, you get paid while you're in. When you're out, you get paid a housing allowance + college tuition, and you can still get free medical care in many cases (I have free medical/dental for life because I deployed.) You'll also have an honorable discharge, which looks amazing on a resume and will give you "veterans points" (+10%) to any government job that requires you to take a test (such as police departments).

The only way to get paid after you're done active duty is if you retire.
 
No check. Just like changing jobs in civilian world. If you get medically discharged or retire then you get a check, little, but still a check)
