Ah, I understand. My hats off and my respect for your service for sure!

After you try to open the PlayStore, and after it flashes open, then shut, does an error message come up? Something akin to "The Play Store has crashed", or something like that?

Perhaps go to "manage applications" and navigate to the PlayStore app.
Clear the cache and data, then try to open it again? You may have to sign into it again after the whole "clear cache and data" bit.

Edit: if that doesn't work, again go to Menu > Manage Apps > All tab > search for Google Play Store and uninstall updates.
