My name is Jessica and I have posted questions on here and on the Naval Academy Forum section. My main question is to see what the different views on which way to turn, Naval Academy or Sta-21. I am 20 years old and I have been in the Navy as an Aerographers mate for 16 months. I was active in high school and out of high school with extra-curricular activities. I participated in the Naval Sea Cadet Corps and Air Force JROTC for three years out of my four while I was in High school! I attended the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence and Diplomacy as one of 350 students that were chosen. I also have received numerous awards while in those programs, and while I have been in the Navy for this short amount of time. I was qualified as an aviation surface weather observer in less than minimal time, manned the weather office during the approach and passing of Hurricane Isabel. From that I was named Junior Blue jacket of the Quarter for the first quarter I was at my first duty station. I also was awarded a Flag LOC from Naval District Washington, and received Regional Blue jacket of the quarter for the Atlantic Region.
That is the major achievements that I have enquired while in the Navy. I have been involved with the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, Air Force JROTC, and the NYLF for the past four years. I am an alumni for the Forum (NYLF) and a delegate as well! I have letters from Admiral William J. Crowe Jr. for my selection to the forum.
However, I am currently waiting on my Results from the SAT and I am retaking the ACT on the 18th, and my high school grades do NOT show my knowledge or ability to learn. They do not portray my full potential that I came to realize after high school.
My main question is, does anyone have any advise to give suggestions or me for which way I should go? The reason I am worried about this is not because I don't think that I have what it takes, its the fact of Sta-21 is usually geared to more experienced enlisted personnel and the Naval Academy is geared to letters and Top of their Class students. If anyone has any encouragement or a better way that I should go about this, PLEASE let me know.
Thank you,
R/Jessica
