Hello, first of all I'd like to say that this is an amazing community and I come here very often to hear about all things related to the Navy. I have been wanting to be in the Navy for a long time now, and I really do feel like this is the branch for me.
First thing to point out is...academically, I haven't been exactly the best. As of matter of fact, I've been incredibly lazy my whole high school career due to a lack of motivation, yet whenever I took tests, i would do just well enough.As a current Senior in highschool, My highschool GPA is a 2.1, and my SAT scores are 1030 first time taking it. I am Planning on retaking it to get a higher score. Nevertheless i have an incredible passion for becoming an officer.
The major I am going for when i go to college is whether in Business or in criminal law. My plans after high school is to enlist in the Navy (ASVAB score 52) and live out my life rather than go to college instantly. My question really is...what would be the best option in terms of going from enlisted to officer in the Navy? I don't think I'll get accepted into the Naval academy as a high school graduate, but I hear enlisted slots never get filled up. I've only been to 2 clubs and never really went to a position in either of em. I never played a sport on my own other than swimming.
My second option is Navy OCS, but once again, I don't know if college is something I'd do currently, and I'm not sure if my major would be good enough to get accepted.
