As it happens, right now I am working on PT prepping myself for enlistment into the Air Force. I want to be TACP (possibly ALO if I get my bachelor's while in the service). I spent a lot of time thinking about the branch and job that I wanted, so my first advice would be to take time to figure out which branch fits you best, and figure out which job(s) you're interested in.
Do you have a clean background? Certain branches are less likely to give waivers. The Army is most likely to take you if you need one.
The branch that's right for you is impossible for anyone here to tell you. If you like being out to sea, you could join the Navy - but then again, not all Navy jobs are on the seas. If you like flying (you seem to have some interest in it), consider the Air Force - but just as the Navy, not all jobs in the AF are airborne - and you could land a job on a helicopter in the Army.
