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.
I have never known a single person who said they regretted joining the militarym, and i spent over half my life around them, that has to count for something.
