The main problem that I have is that while growing up I was so focused on the Air Force and Naval Academy. Unfortunately I was waitlisted at both and ended up not receiving an appointment to either. I had applied for Navy and AF ROTC scholarships on the side, but did not research colleges/majors as thoroughly as I did for the Academies. I ended up not receiving the Navy ROTC scholarship, but instead received the Air Force ROTC scholarship to WVU, which was my plan D.
Growing up I had always dreamed of going to the Naval Academy and serving as a Naval Officer. I still accepted the Air Force ROTC scholarship to WVU because it still gave me the opportunity to serve as an officer, with the potential to be an aviator. However, the summer after my senior year I decided to give NROTC another shot, so I applied again.
I now have the chance to become what I have always dreamed of becoming. The issue I am having is letting go of what I already have. After a year in AFROTC, I can see myself going in a different direction than I have always visioned, and the navy and AF visions are clashing together.
My options are obviously wide open at this point, and I'm not going to make a irrational decision for next year. My choice is going to boil down to what major I want to do, and what branch I will be the happiest in. I believe whatever option I choose will work out regardless.
