Answer 1

The most important thing is to get an appointment from either the President of the United States, Congressperson of your Congressional district, or United States Senators. Second, grades are very important especially in the math and science areas. Third, physical fitness is important in meeting the fitness assessment. Fourth, leadership is important (such as student council president, club leadership, team captain, JROTC, etc.). Fifth build friendships with the teachers, principals, coaches, and guidance cousnelor because recommendations are very important in selecting candidates. Finally, extracurricular activities (JROTC, drama, school newspaper, etc.), school honors and activities, community awards, outside employment, and volunteer work play an important part in the Naval Academy application. Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm a civillian. Never served in the military (apart from cadets at school). Ask yourself this question. If they didn't offer a degree would I still be interested?
You'll be in the frontline somewhere at risk of injury or fatlity. If you could stay a civilian there would be a great deal you can contribute to the world around you. You don't need a uniform to command respect. You earn respect in life, you don't wear it.
