I Want to Fly Military Helicopters!

To start off, I am 18 years old and graduating from high school. I am
very strong academically and intellectually, with scores of 1560 and 32
on my SAT and ACT, respectively. Hopefully this means that I am suited
to handle the mental tasks of being a pilot.

As cliché as it is, I have wanted to fly Army Helicopters since I was
a young child. My future is ahead of me, and I hope to fulfill my
dream of flying for the military. My primary questions a What is
the best route to take in order to have the best chance of being
assigned to actually fly the helicopters (enlisted or officer, which
fields to work in, etc.), which branch of the military provides the
best training/most flight time, and what are the dirty, less-appealing
things about helicopter aviation that the recruiters don't tell me?

Any information is appreciated.
