Maybe the navy. They are really the only ones that bother with biology. What you do is join the navy and get into officer's school. Only people that already have a degree can go to officer's school. After something like nine weeks you can become a second lieutenant.

There are a lot of good reasons for someone in your position to join the military.
There are the tangible reasons: it is a steady income, with really good benefits (full med/dental and prescriptions), and good retirement.
However. . .
There are plenty of other jobs that offer those benefits and unless you are driven by the intangible benefits of serving your country and having an exciting job it wouldn't be worth it.
There are a lot of sacrifices you have to make, but it is extremely rewarding.
As for which branch. . . I am in the Army and I believe that it has some distinct advantages. It is the largest and therefore offers the most options. Also both the Navy and Air Force are trying to cut officers and encourage them to move to the Army (blue to green). In the end, it is a personnel decision that reflects your own goals and preferences.
Good luck.

The military is a great career. I retired with 21 years and 52.5% of my highest base pay at age 42. In the reserves it is not that good as you can only earn 50 points(days) per year except for active duty and retirement is at age 60. At that rate considering no extended active duty it would take 7.3 years to earn one year for retirement. Things may have changed, probalbly for the worse, so check this stuff out with all the recruiters and get it in writing.
It is not easy to get active duty or even in reserves or guard, but it is something you should explore. It is really not that dangerous and you might enjoy the job. It is a lot like civilian life except you will probably move around a lot.
The age limit was set for active duty at ... be able to complete 20 years by age 55. I think the age is 42 for reserves and guard. Only the top half of our population will qualify for military service.
