I haven't been on a date in 10 years and I've got one Saturday, any advice is welcome

I (26M) met this girl (32) a week or so ago. As a preface, I don't generally look for a relationship, as I haven't been interested in settling down for good. In the past year, that's been even more true as I'm intending to join the USCG, and I didn't want to start something only for it to have to end.

Continuing: We talked for a bit at the bar and she invited me to come do karaoke with a few other people the other day. I had more fun that night than I've had in a very long time, and we had incredible chemistry. Both of us flirting, holding hands, dancing together, singing and laughing. At the end of the night, we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, but before I got home she called me. We talked for over an hour while I just sat in the car, mostly just getting to know each other and so on.

We've texted a bit since then, and now we're set to meet up for drinks on Saturday. My issue is this: like I said before, I'm planning to join the USCG soon, as a stepping stone on my greater career path. I really, really like this girl, though, and I don't want to let something pass by (and wonder "what if" months or years from now) that could turn into something serious. Our chemistry was like nothing I've experienced before.

Right now, I'm planning to be up front about everything on Saturday, and let her know how much I like her, but also that I have plans for the future that I don't expect to change. I'm more than willing to give it a shot and see where we're at when it comes time for me to leave, but I feel like I need to let her make that choice as well. Is that the right move, or should I go on a couple more dates before bringing a conversation that serious forward?

Any other general dating advice to help a rusty guy out? I have very little experience in this area, so any good advice is welcome.
