I have an opportunity to graduate either January 15th or wait until May. I feel like the National Guard isn’t for me I want to go Active Duty Navy, any advice on how to do it? Or is it even possible?

It&#39;s takes some doing and takes convincing people to help you out. <br /><br />If you truly want to jump ship (pun intended) you need to work with the Navy recruiters and impress upon them you are worth the squeeze. They will be a little skeptical out the gate because they see people waffle and/or get cold feet every month. It&#39;s on you to decide what&#39;s best but it won&#39;t be an easy set of obstacles to navigate.
