I want to be a Specialized Surgeon after I complete all the schooling I need

How will I pay for all this?
I am planning on enlisting in the Air Force and going through their student program. They will pay for 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school. After I graduate I will put my skills into use through the Air Force helping people throughout the country, maybe even the world.
Achieving My Goal
Over the next 2 years, I am going to join various clubs and activities to expand my volunteer opportunities and relationships. I hope to get a 3.8 GPA and stay on top of all my homework. I will also complete the medical classes at GPHS to graduate with medical honors.
