I think that enlisting in the Navy over the age of 25 is generally a terrible idea. The culture, rules, and pay scale for junior enlisted personnel assume a high school graduate with little to no previous work experience. The fact that you are almost certain to be unable to relate to your peers due to age and maturity differences will make life miserable, and no you're not allowed to hang out with the LPO or LCPO because they are your age.
If you really had a burning desire to serve, you would have done it already. You're looking to the Navy as a last resort because your civilian career isn't going where you thought it would, and you think that joining the Navy will eventually fix that. I would offer you that, at your age, the military ship has sailed and you should pursue other avenues to advance your professional career.
I also don't know your family situation, but with only about $20k in liquid income you will have to ensure that you don't have a car payment and will have to sell your house if you have a mortgage since E3 bah is designed to cover a 1 BR apartment.
