Will it be too difficult for me to participate in recruitment so far from home?

I just got my passport renewed so I think I'm good there. I don't know if any of you will be able to help me out with this, but I have one semi-irrelevant passport question: Since I won't turn 18 until July, is my passport still only valid for 5 years, or since I'm turning 18, will it be 10 years? I know this is a random question to ask that I could probably find somewhere else on the Internet but just wondering.
Thanks for the AAA advice! My parents will be all over that. And you're right, I LOVE to plan ahead! I'm one of those really organized people, so thank you all for the info! I am actually going to Brentwood this weekend for a wedding, so I'll check that store out before the sale.
