I (24M) have been thinking of buying a house with my brother. But I’m not sure it’s a good idea because I do plan on joining the military, it’s just a matter of when. Right now I’m renting a house with my brother and 2 other roommates, which has been fine. But if I join, and I plan on doing active duty, I just hate the thought of renting and would much rather have my money go towards a house while I’m away. Plus I’d have a place for all my stuff and a place to come back to when I would visit. Is it a good idea? Or is it dumb to get a house before I join?

No.
No. You’ll have access to better loans after you join. You also have zero idea where you’ll end up.
Rent a storage unit or a room from your brother when he buys a house on his own.
