We got comparable SAT scores and he got a 98% on the ASVAB.

You have to know what you enjoy doing, and what you want to do after your military career has ended. The last thing you want is to be stuck doing something you hate, wating untill your enlistment is up. I loved my Rate in the Navy, I knew going in that I loved working with my hands, and I have a natural knack for learning lots of things fast. I was a Missile Technican, I worked with Pneumatic, hydraulics, environmental control, Computers, electronics, high explosives, and had to specialize in security/weapons. So for me I was in heaven minus all the red tape associated with nuclear weapons. Id be inside a nuc for 8+ hours and enjoying myself, but the guy next to me is living in his own personal hell. Then when I had to get out the navy I was so marketable, with so many certs, on so many systems I landed a job thats nearly just as great.
With the amount of military people here, when you narrow down what you want to do ask plenty of questions to find out what the job really is about.
