You definately need to have a focus before you join the military. Mine was all about college money. That basically narrowed it down to the Army and Navy since they give out hoards of money for college. Since I did not want to be on a ship, I went with the Army. I wanted a job that was not a desk job, so I looked at combat arms. After some debate, I signed up as a forward observer. To make a long story short, 8 years later I am in ROTC and will get my commission in 2.5 years. Then its 15-17 years of military service before I retire.
So you need to ask your self what do you want from the military and then look at what each branch has to offer
