Wyatt...I was a freshman at Penn State University in 1986 when I decided to join the Army.  Fast forward 23 years...I retired as a First Sergeant and it was the best decision I made in my life (so far).  It took me about 14 more years to finally get the BA (deployments have a way of getting in the way) I started at Penn State.  I got to travel the world (not all exotic places), met some GREAT people, married a beautiful woman and had three children with, learned a trade, gained experience...I could on and on.  I highly recommend the military (even if my opinion is a little biased).  Good luck in your decision!!!  
If you have any specific questions..do not hesitate to PM me brother!!
P.S.:  Todays Army has changed quite a bit...you can work on that degree while deployed now!!
