<p>It seems you may be a “victim” of youthful indecision. But not now, rather when you were matriculating 4 years past. </p>
<p>There is magic to a USNA degree, but not necessarily to a lesser degree than you seem on the path toward earning. Learn from this, dream that your child might one day do what you did not in terms of going to an SA, and move confidently with conviction toward the same career path a USNA or other SA degree and commission would have. It seems there’s no real educational merit worth doing that which you might be contemplating. Get focused and get on. </p>
<p>And congrats, best of luck, and thank you for your desire to serve our great nation. Work toward restoring it to that very height.</p>
