If you join up, you are almost guaranteed to see serious active duty time and/or combat. In one of the most hellish, hot godforsaken places on earth. Surrounded by people who would cut your throat and get a big woody for Allah listening to the gurgling sound of your blood gushing out. All for minimal pay and unless you do 20, no worthwhile benefits.
That two weeks a summer thing is gone forever; at least as long as President C#cksucker is in charge.
If you're determined to do this, I suggest you pick an extreme - enlist in the Navy or Air Force if you'd rather not get shot at, or if think you'd enjoy getting shot at, join the Marines so you'll be surrounded by a higher class of combatant. As low as recruiting standards are right now, I would absolutely advise against joining the Army.
