What branch you going into? Where will you/want to get stationed? There will almost ALWAYS be gyms near your base since contact sports draw similar type personalities ;)

Hmm, well better footwork will give you better stand up. It's not really what you do with your hands, it's what you do with your whole body. If you have good, straight, snapping punches then start jumping rope, dance with your hands up for about an hour, practice rotating your hips on crosses correctly. Footwork is the most important thing in stand up imo. Don't worry about power so much, ko power comes with technique and speed, not strength.

Also, practice keeping your hands up, bringing the hands back to gaurding the jaw as quick as possible after throwing a punch.

I'd say to either go to a gym to learn the basics or hold off until you can. There is no need to develope bad habbits that will be hard to break when you could just hold off for a bit. Just try to get in good cardio shape, which basic will certainly help with and then when you want to take the time to got to a gym do so.
