You'll get 2 maybe 3 credits tops for infantry training. You wont start filling up the AARTS until you start going to the leadership schools, combat lifesaver courses, etc. So have another plan for the electives. I tell you from my experience of my old Airborne Infantry days.
Agreed. If I were you I would focus on the gen eds and so on... take the exams you know you'll need first, rather than doing electives. You never know what can happen with the military, a year from now they might send you to 3 different schools back to back, and you could use those credits for electives instead of worrying about them now.
