It's rare, aggressive, and there's no good screening until you're in your 40s or 50s. If you have a family history, sure, but otherwise you're supposed to stay healthy until middle age. On my first deployment, I went with 4 enlisted medics/BEEs from my base. When we got home, I got hit by a car, my NCOIC got arrested, and the other NCO.... I had treated her for some minor stuff while we were deployed and had a set of totally normal labs drawn a couple of weeks before we came home. Two months later...BAM! highly aggressive leukemia. She had just turned 30 and was a newlywed. I made weekly house calls to help as much as I could, but she deteriorated really quickly.  The fourth guy managed okay. I think the worst thing that happened to him was that his garage band broke up.
