<p>Some of this has already been touched on…</p>
<p>USNA offers more variety in terms of types of service than USMA. You have aviation, subs, surface, USMC, and some specialties. I am no expert on Army career paths, but I do know they are not as varied as USN.</p>
<p>That said, you can’t go wrong either way. Putting all rivalries aside, USMA and USNA are among the best places you can possibly go, and both will serve you well. What you have to do is look deep inside yourself and decide what is best for YOU.</p>
<p>What do you dream of? Is it being an Airborne Ranger? Is it sleeping under the stars, no matter what the bugs and mud feel like? Is it leading men directly within the thick of combat, with the enemy oftentimes within arms reach? Is it leading a tank platoon? Then go Army.</p>
<p>If it is engaging in a more intellectual kind of battle, where tactics and weapons systems are more technical and deadly, were you have to face both the enemy as well as the sea, then Navy is your choice. If you want to combine the Army bits with the Naval Service, then USMC is your calling.</p>
<p>Either way, you are to be envied. Some people live their entire lives and are never blessed with having to choose between two such choices. Appreciate your position, do your homework, choose, then don’t look back.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
