<p>nsmav,</p>
<p>If you don’t want to be a sailor (or a naval officer) you really should consider another program. </p>
<p>The goal of both NROTC and the Naval Academy is to educate and train marine and navy combat leaders (officers). The government will expect you to be just that for a full five (5) years after you graduate.</p>
<p>Though you may take classes in college that concentrate on your goal to become a physical therapist / sports medicine practitioner, the odds are extremely slim that you would be assigned such duties in the Navy or Marines.</p>
