I have gone back and forth on a lot of things about my future in my short life but I’ve known one thing since 8th grade: I wanted to do ROTC. I was always drawn to air force and have been a huge aviation nerd but also have a soft spot for navy as I grew up sailing and even have a HS job working as a deckhand. I’m now getting down to 9 months until I’m going to have to 100% decide which. I’m applying for scholarships in both but am not super confident I’ll get scholarships (had a super rough patch freshman year and have been digging out of that hole ever since). So I will have to decide between the two if a scholarship does not decide for me and as someone who is very bad at choosing between things I want to get some opinions of others now just as I mull it over in my head over the coming months.
Some facts about me:
-Hope to major in environmental science and the after the military work in the environmental affairs of airlines/other companies in the aviation field
-spent my summers deckhanding is HS
-looking closer at 2/3 year scholarships over 4 year as I don’t think I will be accepted and I don’t know if I will change my mind on my major during my first year (my 1# school has 4 environmental majors and I don’t know if I will change my mind and want to do one of the other environmental majors).
-I have a lot more experience being on the water over being in the air but do want to pursue a career in the aviation industry.
- I want to travel, not necessarily with my job in the military but if one branch sends more people overseas than another that would be good to know
Which branch sounds like it would be better for me? I don’t have anyone in my life who was/is in the military so I have nobody irl I can ask for opinions.
