Of course. Having worked for a CPA firm (as the computer guy) I can assure you that non-filing of returns is pretty common.
Ask your accountant (don't go to H&R Block or any other place that is located in your mall, in old storefronts, etc etc) if you should include some notice that you were in the military.
BTW, thanks for being in the military, and serving our country.

Yes, you can and you should. If you owe, penalties and interest are running and it is best to take care of them sooner rather than later, trust me.
If, on the other hand, you are due a refund you are effectively giving an interest-free loan to Uncle Sam. You have three years from the due date of the return to claim any refund.
If you completed your W-4 correctly and did not claim any Advance EIC you are probably due a small refund at least as I imagine you don't have any time to do jobs on the side. You might benefit from getting your taxes done professionally this year. I believe many bases have VITA volunteers who will be happy to help you with your returns. You may well be able to do them yourself, but getting the 2005 software may be more trouble than going to a professional preparer.
As a side note, you must file each year separately. You cannot combine two returns into one.

You can always file your taxes but you might be subject to penalties.

Yes, you can and the IRS will expect it, or they will come find you, when you least expect it.

YES, and don't be surprised if they add late fees and interest.
