Devin: You sound like a smart young man. It has been a while since I was in college (now an SEC school), but I do remember meeting some guys in fraternities who were prior military. They were usually in the more laid-back houses who were less caught up in status issues such as what high school a PNM attended, parents' income, etc. I recall there was a guy who who had been an Army Ranger in one house who was particularly drool-worthy, LOL.
I think some fraternities will look on your time in the military as a bonus, as it means you know how to prioritize your time and show some responsibility. Just be ready to deal with the fact that some of your brothers will be four years younger than you and trying to figure out stuff you dealt with at that age.
My advice: Do not make this a top priority, but see if it fits into everything else (particularly making good grades) once you start college. Also, you mentioned GI Bill, but be sure to take advantage of the other assistance you can get with college as a veteran.
BTW: Veteran here (though went into the military after college).
