If you have to serve in the army, you’d be surprised at how much that could strengthen your application. People who have to serve in the army, especially if they serve in armies that put very young people into positions of tremendous responsibility and leadership, supervising others, are light years ahead of their peers in maturity by the time that they come out.
I’d seriously consider waiting to apply until you only have one year left of military service. One of your recommendations could be from your commanding officer, assuming that you’ve done well, speaking of your maturity and leadership skills.
People who’ve served in their country’s military often wind up going to college in their country, since for them it’s often heavily subsidized there, but when they apply for grad schools in the US, they usually get in, because it’s so obvious how much more life experience and supervisory experience they have, compared to the other applicants. You’d do better to apply a year before the end of your service, than if you were to apply now and defer.
