Freshman Year Chemistry Honors Geometry Honors Early Civilizations Spanish I English I Multimedia Design Band Sophomore Year Biology Honors Algebra II Honors World History AP Spanish II Honors English II Computer Science Band Take Precalculus over the summer. Junior Year Chemistry AP Calculus AP American History AP English Language and Composition AP Spanish III Honors Computer Science AP Band Senior Year Physics AP Multivariable Calculus Honors American Government AP English Literature AP Spanish IV Honors Peer Leadership Band

  • Answer:

    That is likely to earn you attendence...implying you maintain a high GPA, can excel on your PT standards, possibly have lettered, maybe even have experience in the maritime field, did I mention PT, out of school leadership activies, sponsors, senators letters... It's a process to get into the Academies. You need to talk to the local recruiters for the academies and work with them. It is as difficult to earn acceptance to an academy as it is to get into an Ivy League school. That said, I think a foregin language is an excellent choice. Every sailor, airmen, soldier and marine is an ambassador to the USA and being cultured is an intelligent decision. I reccomend taking the AP Spanish exam even if you are not enrolled in an AP Spanish class. Also, men follow their commanding officers because of two reasons. 1. They have to, 2. they want to. You want to be part of the second. What he's saying about enlisted men playing those games is partly true. Some officers do come into the situation with their heads in a fantasy land and expect to much of their men, but you need to earn their confidence. Be professional, work with your NCOs (but remember that your decision is the final decision and you have the rank to prove it), trust your men to successfully do their job...ect.

I doubt band or spanish is going to help much. Peer Leadership might actually help more since the military leadership teaching methods seem to go wayward when it suits thier needs (once out on the fleet). And no matter what, you will end up having to take many courses things they generally don't offer in other colleges, but it sounds pretty well rounded in general. Biggest problem I found while I was in is that alot of officers do'nt seem to have a grip of reality. They are usually over demanding of enlisted based on thier lacking experience of real life, zeal to look good to the upper chain of command or other selfish desires. Sure, if you get passed over as an officer too many times your through in the Navy. But people key in quickly if your a suck up and they don't respect you or make you look good. Its hard for instance to motivate an electronics technician to work his butt off and fix a radar problem with one of these clowns hanging over your shoulder and if you have the inclination to teach them a lesson for being such an a$$............techs can conveniently 'forget' what they are doing or how to fix something on "your" time schedule. Sure, its politics, but its got to be played to fight for your "free space" when you have such crappy officers whom have no clue what leadership is.
