Any advice on joining the US Army

My interests are cybersecurity/IT and aerospace-related crap. So, I'm leaning more towards the Airforce or the Navy-especially if my employment situation does not get any better soon. The job market sucks for my field if you don't have 5+ years of experience (cyber security). Then, I'm also currently in a rural dead-end state that has very limited entry-level tech jobs. The idea that "I should just relocate" currently isn't an immediate option for me financial wise.

I have also lurked various military boards on Reddit. Everyone on there seems to joke that roles relating to Nuke, IT, Cyber, and Intel/Comm have the most 'undiagnosed' autistic/AS people. That aside, things like weight, asthma, drug history/charges, and formally diagnosed mental health issues tend to be major disqualifiers. However, the Army is way more lenient than the Airforce from what I've seen.
