Military after undergraduate and MBA advice

I don't really know too much about how people in the military get jobs in finance but was curious. I just finished up my junior year of college (I go to a non-target school and have okay-ish 3.7 GPA). I have always been interested in serving in the military but also want ultimately pursue a career in finance. This summer I will be interning at at a valuation shop, and I was wondering if there was any viable career path where I could begin in the military. Ideally, I would be interested in doing some sort of finance-related work while serving and then pursuing an MBA afterwards. I've been looking into some deferred enrollment programs. Ultimately, I would like to work in AM or at a HF. I know it is probably a long-shot, but if anyone has any information on stuff like this I would greatly appreciate your advice.

TLDR: I'm mainly wondering what opportunities there are in the military and how/when I could begin my MBA.

Not too sure where this should be posted so I kind of just put it somewhere.
