I'd leave the military as a last resort, just above stealing. Not unless serving your country is your undeniable calling. And if you've got any doubt, then it isn't.
I say that, having joined the military after high school because I had no clue what to do with myself. And for me, at that time, it turned out well.
However, the US hasn't used its military for anything good or honorable since World War II, except possibly the first six to nine months of Afghanistan. If you join the military you'll likely have to kill someone for no worthy reason, or you'll have to order someone to do it. For fucking Wall Street, and so whoever's President at the time doesn't have to take Viagra.

Fuck. That. Shit.
Don't waste your soul.
