Would joining the military and taking 4-5 years off from school inhibit my chances at getting accepted into colleges that I want to go to such as UC Berkley, Stanford or UCLA?

I can’t speak for Berkeley, Stanford or UCLA, however, the Posse Program may be of interest. Having said that, I believe that you should seriously consider the route NEPatsGirl and Ucbalumnus suggest.

The Posse Foundation launched its veterans initiative in 2012 in an effort to increase the rates at which veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces attend and graduate from selective colleges and universities.
The Posse Veterans Program began in partnership with Vassar College and now also counts Wesleyan University and Dartmouth College as partners.
The Posse Foundation plans to expand it Veterans Program to include a total of 12 top colleges and universities as partners over the next five years.
