well, boreness at army, and the love to house/electro/minimal music gave me the idea to become a DJ.
BUT: what do i need to? what do i have to learn? How do i get pretty simple and fast the tricks and hints for it?
who wants to teach me? ;)

If you choose the mp3-way, get some HQ music, a decent table with a mixer in it and a decent programm (nothing like Virtual DJ, try tractor or smth like that)
Play arround with the music, feel the beats, which track can be played after/mixed with which track?
Learn how to use the different effects, settings
And if you actually plan to play infront of a crowd or even at a small party the right track selection is WAY more important than mixing up some stuff or adding random effects. You need a feeling for what song the "crowd" might like and how they'll probably react on it.
And btw, especially with vinyl, it's a quite expensive hobby. Cheapest is digital DJing with mp3s. Get Traktor (or something similar, ~100-200€) and a decent controller (starting price at around ~300) and you're pretty much good to go. CD/mp3 combo is way more expensive already as you need a mixer and two tables (~1800€ in total for a start). And for vinyl, well.. vinyl isn't too cheap, especially the follow up costs. All can be pimped with some effect controllers etc (unlimited costs! :P).
