Has anyone used Fold3 for military records?

I was wondering if the collection was pretty sizable and if I would find a lot on family members in WWII and before.

I guess I will do the free trial, but any tips for finding relevant info would be appreciated to best make use of my time there.

You may have already done this, but a good - and FREE - place to start is:

After feeling as though I had exhausted all of the free online options, I signed up for fold3 w/ their free trial. I liked it so much that I continued the subscription.
