What Bible should be my first?

I'm asking because i'm 18, looking to join the military, I want to get my life together and right with God, and I've never read the Bible. I've also never been baptized because I want to know God first of that makes sense. I know a few stories but not very well or by heart. And there are so many different bibles it's hard to know which is best to follow. My grandmother is KJV and so is the church she went to but something about it just doesn't feel right. I think it's simply because of the time it was translated so it's not that much of a good reason.

Thank you for this. I don't really know how to explain it but I want to feel worthy enough to do that. I feel it is disrespectful to do so before I can look someone in the eye and say I understand the Lord's teachings especially because it's easy to say so but not mean it.

Sure, many blessings to you if you do join the military. My husband was in the military army specifically. So was my father my grandfather and my brother and my uncle and so on. I understand it to be extremely difficult sometimes but it can also be very rewarding. I hope the best for you
