I was I the army. I recommend that you do it.
Iraq is finally simmering down now; Afghanistan is where the action is at these days. One Marine brigade that was scheduled to deploy to Iraq is already on its way to Afghanistan instead. This is going to continue under Obama.
Just remember that the military is a big bureaucracy and bureaucracies aren't very responsive to individual needs. You will also have to put up with a lot of bullshit from conflicting personalities. While the military looks very organized on the outside, internally it can be very chaotic, like any big organization.
Overall I would say it's a great experience though.
