Some advice...
1. Take the GI bill, its about $100 amonth out of your paycheck for a year, but ends up being worth something like $40k or more when you use it, depending on the school you use it at.
2. Take advantage of Tuition Assistance when you are on active duty. They will pay a portion or maybe even all of your tuition to go to college. Most bases have colleges come on base to teach night classes. These are 4 year accredited colleges.
3. Keep your nose clean. You will be drug tested....alot.

This^^^, get everything you can out of this, you deserve it.
Don't get caught up with some scandalous girl either, all of them start looking good after a couple weeks.
Think you picked the right MOS, too many people go into the armed forces and pick an MOS that is completely useless in the private sector. Not too many jobs open for an M1 tank weapons system mechanic in the real world, aviation is probably the best choice. Good luck, and stay away from scandalous girls at boot camp, nothing but trouble!
