I am a college senior in the BDCP (SNA), and I am looking for some thoughts and opinions (other than my friends and family) on what I should do in this situation...
I am currently enrolled in a school that uses the quarter system, and I have 33 credit hours left to take before I can graduate. I made some kind of mistake when filling out the academic completion plan in my BDCP package, and my academic advisor recently sat down and showed me that I can graduate one quarter EARLIER than what I told the Navy (I can potentially graduate November '09, instead of March '10).
But, this involves me taking summer classes, which I am disinclined to do. Zero of my core group of friends are staying, home is 5 hours away, and the town where school is is VERY quiet in the summers.
However, I am quite eager and excited to start my Navy career.
My options are:
1. Suck it up, stay the summer, finish school, try to get an earlier ship date (maybe in January '10?) and get the ball rolling
2. Enjoy my school-free, work-free, money-worry free summer at home near New Orleans (fun place to party), stay a kid for a couple extra months, and ship on my current date.
What would you do?
I know the typical 20 year old kid would pick #2, no contest, but the crazy thing is that I think I've made a decision to go with #1.
Can anyone talk me out of this? should I be talked out of it, or is it a good decision?
Any argument for or against will be appreciated
