I doubt it, you should decide in my opionion what kind of children you want to raise. It is America and i am sure you could find a way, but doing one job the very best is better than three and just getting by. Don't have children if you are not going to be around to nurture and raise yourself

Anything is possible, and anything worth doing is going to be difficult, which is what your desired and plans seem to be. You should pace yourself though. Once you have children, everything else becomes second and third priority, sometimes forth and fifth. Also, when you have children, it ties you down. Will being in the navy allow that? Can you see yourself studying with a baby needing you? Every item that you want to do is HIGHLY demanding, HIGHLY. But not impossible... My advice to you is plan, especially if you are young. Get the things out of the way that require your full attention for a brief period of time like school and initial service duties. Then after you have reached the point that you have passed the bar and have gotten to a place with the navy where you can request a more settled duty, then start your family.
Don't let your dreams falter, you can have each one of your desires. You just have to be smart about it and be patient.

Yes it is possible. However you will need to budget your time wisely and it will not be easy. You will need people to depend on for help. I'd say do the Navy thing before the family...Law school too but that is easier than the Navy to raise a family. All yu have in this world is time but don't burn yourself out. Take it one step at a time because there is no rush sweetie!

if you already have the family.. you'll have too..it is possible.. it will just take alittle longer to get there....
If you don't.. my suggestion would be to concentrate on your career first.. prioritize so to speak... the rewards will be a benefit to your higher purpose..
I say this because of the struggles, juggles and possible strains involved in having a little to much on the plate at once while trying to balance budgets and time along with the added wants and demands of family..
like, In laws ,baby's keeping you up at nights due to changing diapers, crying, cuddles, clothes, toys, picking up after (keeping the house clean), baths, birthdays, Christmas, holidays, family outings, school, taking too picking them up, illness, doctors, dentists, school supplies, hobbies, sports, cheer leading, concerts, more toys, college as they grow, the list grows...
don't forget about about buying that new car then having to take it to shop for repairs. getting the kids cars. The yard. animals, having house repairs and maintenance done. etc etc etc
