<p>JT-
I understand what you’re going through, about a month and a half ago, I was in your same position, deciding between USNA and USMA. What it boiled down to for me was the fact that USNA has a much wider career field than USMA. If you weant to do a little ground pounding, go Marine. If you change your mind half-way through (very very common) you go surface warfare, or aviation. In the end I decided that USNA was right because the options are much greater. Hope this helps.</p>
