i talked about this topic a while back but i came across it again the other day. i said earlier that if i didnt get accepted to the academy the first try that i would enlist and try again but my parents suggested not too because so many things could go wrong like a bad fitrep. well my mom told me to apply other places because if they didnt accept me out of high school why would they accept me if i was enlisted. i told her it was because i had experience in the fleet and she disagrees. could someone else give input on how enlisting would benefit my application if i didnt get in right out of high school? thanks
