The Rhythmosaur is on a distinguished road
You remind me of a small boy having graduated from high school in 1998 telling the same as you just do. Then he grow older and is answering your post right now...
No clou, really. I just know, marine will be the hardest thing to choose; the airforce gives best apperentices (as far as I now).But I wonder wether you would have the opportunity to chose. Even in the States there are not as many heli pilots as infanterists, for example. But I think you will see that early enough.
Me in your shoes, I would try to get as many information I could get. I could imagine the recruitment services are in internet, too. Keep eyes and ears open try to get in contact with former/serving soldiers.

I stress again: At that time the song "you´re in the army now" comes true for you, you will be thinking of me. Guaranteed! From my rank, I could be your group (or troup) leader as we call it here. Men like you I had more then once under my command, so I´m not gonna telling you lies.
My hint:
Serve ordinary duty (what any male American must do) first and then decide wether to prolonge. It will be easier for you because you win some time to watch it and to learn before leaders will expect from you more than from the others. And if you are clever, you´re able to meet the right people helping you on your way to the helis - when they see, you´re the right man for it.

If you do so, I would be in favour of Airforce, followed by Army.
