<p>The Navy/Marine Corps has approximately the same personnel as the Army. However, when people say there are more career opportunities, most are referring to the fact that you can either drive surface ships, subs, fly aircraft (helos, jets, cargo etc), or be a grunt. From this limited perspective, the Army only offers ground and limited air opportunities. I realize that there is a lot more to it than just that(16 branches for example), just as all the folks who go to West Point realize that we don’t all “want to drive ships.” </p>

<p>Maybe so, however, seeing as they are worn for 6 weeks of an entire USNA grad’s career, they probably are not the best representation of his/her uniforms. However, Navy Whites and Marine Corps Blues are known the world over for the class and elegance. I think it would be a challenge to find many people outside the Army that would contend otherwise.</p>
<p>In reference to Army Grads, you do have us beat there. Both institutions have extremely accomplished alumni, but with an extra 42 odd years of existence, its hard to compete.</p>

<p>Thats true, the Naval Academy isn’t too shabby either. Nestled in the absolutely gorgeous colonial town of Annapolis along the banks of the Severn River within 25 miles from both DC and Baltimore. For my money I’d take Annapolis over the bore of Highland Falls any day.</p>
