Might as well join the Army, because you're going to Iraq. ;)

For real, doesnt the Army get paid more and get more benefits for doing the same job nowadays?

Oh one more thing. Even if you are interested in the Armed Forces, GO TO COLLEGE. For example, you can always come to the Army with a 4 year degree and be sent to OCS (Officer Candidate School), or you can enlist and automatically rank as a specialist (E-3? E-4?)

Anyone with a degree and goes through OCS comes out as a 2nd Lt, unless they are doctors or lawyers which I think are Captains or ^ but then again they go through a special 4 week course, not the full OCS. No sense in enlisting when you can be a 2nd Lt.
