Why the army? Maybe if you tell us that we could give you some better advice. Cause the way I see it (keep in mind that my civilian ass knows very little), the army is the last branch I'd want to join with the current mess. The IED aren't going after the Air Force's planes or the Navy's boats.
As far as the military generaly, is there a sense of patriotism driving you to this? A feeling of pride you'll get from wearing the uniform? These kind of things have real value, but if defending your country doesn't give you a special thrill it might not be for you. If so, go for it man.
And I second everything everyone says about being very wary of Military REcruiters. They aren't bad people, they are jsut given the very difficult job of staffing an all-vollunteer military in a time of war.
