Franco, there is one alternative way to serve your nation without being in the military.

You should start applying for any engineering majors (CS, EE, ME, ChemE) or Physics/Chemistry/math in any schools. Then when you graduate, apply for Government engineering jobs, such as NAVAIR, NAVSEA etc. This way you could become a DoD civilian employee right after you graduate. The rest is up to you: I know someone from my homecode who came in as DP-1, then worked his way through DP-4 in 8 years.

Right now what's most important for you is to get good grades, and score 1300+ on the SAT, they are helpful regardless whether you want to be in the navy.

Also, if you ever consider working for the government/military after graduation, be very careful in college: don't do drugs and pay your bills ontime! Security clearance makes a big deal on your "drug history" and your credit card payment record
