Andy,
Try and acquire as good grades as possible so you can be accepted to a good graduate school they will pay for your tuition and give you money to live. Study hard, real hard. Science can seem easy at first glance but there are so many details that are not apparent at first. There are probably close to 1 million Ph.D. level scientists in the world working on problems that might seem easily solvable at first glance to non-scientists.
Obviously if you are looking for direction on where to goto school I would say "the best school you can go to". People can thrive at even mediocre universities but to have the best chance to be a great thinker one really needs to be around other great thinkers. US News and other websites have school rankings.
You can do science or be a scientist. Being a scientist is a lifestyle. It means a life of constantly learning and nurturing your brain and experimentation. Start living that now. Pick up a textbook. Start with Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts and then progress as you see fit into Wolpert or Lehninger. Most importantly go to school if gives a regime and structure to "force" you to learn.

I am in the navy and am looking at going to college for Bioengeneering when i get out. My goal is to find a cure for cancer through Bioengeneering and genetics. I am looking for some guidance a direction if you will, on where to go. I have been reading and researching what people have done and what I would like to do. I have read in one book that there is a group in Whales that has actually come up with a drug free "cure" by way of the body, using proteins to signal "suicide" in the cancer cells. After reading this I started to realize that finding a "cure" isn't the actual problem that I would be facing. The true problem would be keeping the cure out of big blockbuster cooperation's hands while making it cheap and accessible to the general public at as little cost as possible. To do something like that a person would have to perfect the process of multiplying the results with as little effort as possible. I don't know where to begin...any ideas?--
