going split ops and doing it at your age is honestly the smartest thing you could do. while you finish your senior year of high school it DOES count on your contract you sign with the army.
if you do decide to enlist, be sure to come in as the highest rank you can. which will be an E-3, PFC/private first class. dont let a recruiter bull**** you around with stuff either.

Already talked to my parents about going to a recruiter and talk about it. only thing is that I will be doing my basic training going into 11th . Then would have to go back to school . Would I be able to go to Split ops the next summer going into 12th?

I was in the Navy for 8 years. If you do join the navy, or any military service at that, make sure it has a field outside of the military, say if you decide not to try to go the full 20 years for retirment.
Like me, i went in as a Fire Control man. I worked on the electronics of weapon systems and certian radar systems. So, when i got out, i had a good knowledge of electronics and radar theory.
Just don't let the recruiter dick you around. If you have an idea of what you want to learn and do in the military, try to get that job, and not what the recruiter thinks you should go into.
