Yes you get great perks for being in the military and sign up bonuses are a plus for you, but consider this: your gf will end up leaving you for some Ivy league brat or leaving you because she cant deal with you away, you will be watched over like PurpleKush said and people with a little power are total dicks in the military, your freedom is GONE!, oh yea your on a fucking ship with a bunch of horny-ass NAVY men.
You said your college is paid for by FAFSA and maybe a little by your parents, also if you think the military is the only thing that will curb your responsibility towards drugs think again. What happens when you have a craving and do some and then fail a piss test or blood test; you will be dishonarably discharged and then your Fucked. Also you can chance not having a life of luxury with your medical gf. It is totally up to you, I would say stay and school and learn self-control, it will be hard, but if you do-so and you and your gf stay together, you will make boat-loads of cash and be able to visit the world.

no you won't get discharged if you fail a drug test, you go to Ft. Levenworth to sit in there for however long they deem necessary (could be a long, LONG time). you have to request permission to step over red lines on the bathroom breaks, no talking or communication with other inmates, then when you get out, THEN you get dishonrably discharged, which is as good as a felony.
have fun!

man, what i can tell you is get the hell out of there. dont make a decision on the next 4 years of your life based on a few bad days.
Would you like being given the option of either killing someone or spending 15 years hard labor?

In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

dont go to the navy
the "burnout" stage will soon pass, and you will get over alcohol and drugs
then you can go on with your life, knowing you didnt piss 4 years away to do nothing
enjoy life, eventually you will make something of it and find a purpose in it just DONT go to the navy
