<p>If it’s any comfort to you, remember that you can earn your commission into the Marine Corps from USNA too, which would pretty much cover most, if not all, of the career opportunities present in the Army. For that reason, if USMA and USNA are equal in all other aspects to you, then USNA might be the way to go for you because you have both the option of a “naval” career in the Navy or an “army” career in the Marine Corps.</p>
<p>But that’s only if both institutions are equal for you. Don’t forget other factors such as location, majors, etc are points to consider as well.</p>
