Atta boy! Like it was said above, make damn sure you know what you want and when you are available to do it.

Once you go to the MEPS station you still have time to change your mind. They'll give you a million and one chances to back out, come clean on criminal records, etc. all in an attempt to weed out the weak willed and criminally ineligible. They dont wanna spend any more money on you than they have to.

Be adamant about the MOS you want. If your timing is flexible, you may wait months for a slot to open up. Don't be pressured into anything else. Sometimes basic will begin in the summer, sometimes winter, all depending on when you can get the slot in the MOS you want. The recruiters at the MEPS station will pressure the hell out of you to simply sign. Don't do it unless your (future) DD214 reflects the MOS you want.

Any choice you make can be a good one, though some will be more hazardous than others. In any case, military training and experience looks really good on resumes. Good on you for making the decision.
