I spent 4 years as an 11B on active duty. It's a rough life and you will hurt in places that you didn't know that you could hurt. It's not for a family man or one that has a girlfriend, because you will be deployed.....alot. That being said, the 4 years I spent as a grunt has helped make me into the person I am today. I have spent the last 8 years in the Army National Guard, but the 4 years on active duty were some of the best years of my life. I agree with some of the other posts here, keep your options open. See what each branch has to offer. There are enough members here that are prior service or are still in from each branch to give you some insight on each one. Squids (Navy), Zoomies, (Air Force), Jar Heads (Marines) and Dog Faces (Army) have all of there own pro's and con's.
