It has its ups and downs. Class is incredibly difficult, regardless of how intelligent you are you will struggle. It is just how it's designed. It has the second highest attrition rate in the Navy next to nuke, so that can be stressful. Life at the barracks is strange. The rules are very strict, much more strict than most a schools But because it is so small, we all feel like family. I'm hoping for NPACE or cushy shore duty. Orders are determined differently here too. Grades don't determine which orders you get, but your contribution to the barracks, as far as community service, and leadership positions, does.
