Evyn,
Modeling is one of the few areas of life I'm personally still relatively new at ... it's always good to be new at something ... gives lots of areas for continuous personal improvement and little victories here and there among the setbacks.
From my experience, the service can also provide many opportunities for improvement among the setbacks (granted, some service "setbacks" are way more intense than than those encountered in modeling). I want to echo the comments of the others, to thank you for taking the step and offering your service to your country and to your future fellow service men and women who I am sure will value your contributions.
