I agree about the 6 years trap. When I first joined, I was 100% positive I was going to make it a career, so I signed for 6 and thought I was getting over. Not only did I change my mind later on, some guys were able to get re-enlistment bonuses I was never able to touch ( think $50k). All I got was E4 6 months sooner. Sign for 4. Those 6 months of pay don't add up to much.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
