1. Go to www.virtualstockexchange.com so you can practice here and know the ways of the stock marking. Great website to experiment with fake money 8]
2. You can contact just about any of the investment groups out there and ask to speak with a investment professional, they will tell you anything you want to know about investing and how to do it and why you should do it. I highly recommend that you call at least three different company's to find out what they all agree on and move from there. If you are ex military Go to www.usaa.com They will take great care of you. I personally do almost all my investing through them. good luck!
3. Lookup BobBrinker.com There is a recomended reading list on there that has a VERY good list of books to get started. Start with Common Sense On Mutual Funds by John Boogle and Wall Street Words from A to Z. Both of these are very good reads.
4. I think the best way to start investing is to first see what the best traders are buying and selling. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. Here are this month's best traders: http://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx Good luck!
