If military service is what you want I would suggest in addition to the service academies you look into the state maritime academies (SUNY Maritime and it's ROTC or the SIP program.) As a PA resident you can get instate tuition. I would also look at the Citadel, VMI and Norwich and their respective ROTC programs. Their is also the two year programs at NMI and VF where you can graduate with an AS and a commission as a second lieutenant. Then finally their is always full ROTC scholarships. My suggestion is keep your options open and look into other things. CAPT Mark Kelly USN (ret) has a twin brother CAPT Scott Kelly USN who graduated from SUNY Maritime also an astronaut.
