Military guys I need some advice

Hey guys iv been away for a week now visiting my brother who is recovering from one of the largest and most rare types of brain tumor.

We've been talking and im finally ready to dive in the military. I have always been split about it and im finally at the point where I want in.

A few years ago I wanted to be a badass, a Marine, but iv always wanted to be in the Air Force and that is where I plan to begin my military career.

My brother, my brother in law and my brothers friends who have or are in the military have given me a lot of advice on the whole thing.
One thing they strongly advice me to do is have someone with a better understanding of things go with me when I sign that contract.
In hopes that I get the best for myself and not get bitten in the butt by the recruiter.

I was told to almost negotiate my terms for enlistment including, payment for school,the specific job I want to do, where I want to be stationed, my sign on bonus,the term of my contract, vacation time ect ect.

Well if anyone has experience and would like to throw some tips my way or even want to go with me to the recruiter that would be awesome and id really appreciate it.
