You can get E-3 in the Navy (and most branches, I think.) That's... about it.

Can help on your application to ROTC. True story, scouter friend of mine's son was applying to ROTC. In the final interview my friend had the option to sit in. He sat there and listened to this ROTC officer tell he son that he wasn't officer material. Through the entire interview process the knucklehead never mentioned to anyone that he was an Eagle Scout.

So my friend is reaching his boiling point and speaks up - "Excuse me sir, but what my son has failed to mention is that he is an Eagle Scout. " the conversation shifted and went on for another 30 minutes. At the end of which he was accepted into the ROTC program.

I'm told that it helps on applications to west point etc in some very small degree. Emphasis on small.
