@aglages, there are those who know absolutely what they are aiming for and others who are going down a path, not knowing all the alternatives.
I am trying to be helpful.
If the OP is resolute, he can ignore my advice. However, he cannot dream up alternatives if he is less sure of himself. I think I was very clear that I am unsure of what he is trying to achieve; and that he may or may not want to consider other alternatives. Maybe he has a strong family tradition in the Navy; maybe he is in a Navy town and that is what bombards him from every direction. Do YOU know for sure?
