Don't fucking enlist in the military. Just don't. Go to school, get a degree, then get a officer's commission if you really want to serve your country.

And even then, ask yourself, "Am I ready to spend 4 years of my life dealing with extremely rigid structure and bullshit office politics and borderline retarded enlisted who only have a HS degree due to No Child Left Behind?"
