i guess i would like some advice,
I told my parents that if i dont get accepted into USNA this year, that I dont want to give up my dream of usna and i want to enlist maybe go to dive school or buds and follow family tradition for a year and then apply to usna again.
but my parents are saying they dont think i should enlist because there are so many things that could go wrong, like al it takes is a bad fit rep from ur CO and then im stuck in a hole of just trying to get a commision. But i tell them that i will try hard and stand out as enlisted at my command.
Pretty much they really want me to go to USNA but if i dont i should go to rotc, but ive wanted usna for years but if you guys could give me some feedback on if going enlisted first is to much of a risk that would be appreciated.
