@NavyHoops Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate the insight. I am an extrovert(at least according to Myers-Briggs test). My heart is definitely into it. Also, even considering USNA was only my decision. Parents had nothing to do with it, and I don't have a single family member in the military. In fact, my parents didn't know I was even considering USNA until the official candidate package came in the mail last spring. I was just worried because it seemed that the vast majority of appointees, especially the ones on the facebook page, seem super loud and gung ho about serving 20 years, whereas I have no clue about if I would want to serve after the 5 years post graduation. All I know is that I definitely want to attend USNA and become a Naval officer, and i'm committed to doing so.
