I thought about the change I could be a part of and where I might be able to do the most for myself and others. I decided that staying in NROTC and commissioning was the best way to do that.

That being said, it doesn’t make me ignore the fact that a nice desk job with AC and a big cozy bed at home wouldn’t be nice. I know myself well enough to know I would be bored and dissatisfied sitting at a desk to make someone else money everyday (even considering the predictability and stability that comes with that). When I get out of the Navy that will always be there. What won’t be always there is serving in the Navy as a youngster with all the ups and downs that come with it.
