I want to serve. That's my primary goal. ButI had a hard time picking a first choice, and since I have only visited USMA, I put down USMA as my first choice for my nominations. Since I submitted those applications, I started talking to a lot of guys and gals in the service, and I learned that maybe the Air Force/Navy would be best for me. Everyone I talk to thinks it fits my skills/personality best, and I really want to do aviation(I know USMA has aviation).
Since I've had this "change of heart" after I submitted my nomination applications, and every day I seem to be more intrigued by USAFA/USNA more than USMA, should I contact my congressional offices before my nomination interview to change it? Or would that look bad and I should just stick with USMA?
I will have a JROTC nomination to each academy but my understanding is that being #1 on your nomination slate makes it much easier to get in than it is with a JROTC nom. Now the question is, does that mandate me requesting to change my first choice? Or just hoping the JROTC nom gets me into USNA and USAFA?
I intend no disrespect, if I am given an opportunity to serve I WILL take that opportunity. If I were to receive an appointment, a nomination, or ANY opportunity to serve in ANY branch I would be beyond blessed.
