<p>I guess in the end, if you can become a successful officer from any field than I don’t think they should have such restrictions… Looking at the much bigger picture though, the Navy really has the power to do what they feel is necessary. Being in the Navy you realize very quickly that your needs and wishes are secondary to those of the service, and in the grand scheme, your selection of a major is much smaller than many decisions that the Navy will make for you throughout your career… I dont know, I guess it hits home on a much more personal level because I so much enjoyed my major. For me it was almost like a sanctuary from all the technical classes I took. My Academy experience would have been MUCH different had majored in something else.</p>
