Well I'm doing ROTC to commission as an officer, because I want to serve this country and held lead to success. Now, why else? because if you enlist-you don't get to work on the job you want-you get to work where they command you to-and sometimes it sucks. And, there is nothing you can do about it. Being an officer basically gives you the right to chose, unlike enlisting, unless you score really high on your ASVAB-but it's not easy. :) And, Naval officers are required to at take physics in order to commission, as that is one of the requirements, and there is more, but that's just one of them. While AF doesn't. Good luck.

U.S. Navy Officers are some of the most well-respected men and women who serve our country.
Superior benefits and excellent credentials are just a few enticements for becoming an Officer.
If you’re a student or graduate of a four-year college or university who possesses leadership skills and determination, you may be eligible to become an Officer in the Navy.
The Navy offers careers that match the talents and interests of just about everyone. And as long as you’re in the Navy, you’ll get top-notch training, exceptional benefits, and the experience of a lifetime.
Attorneys, Nuclear Power, Aviation, Public Affairs, Civil Engineering, Oceanography / Meteorology, Clergy, Special Operations ,Healthcare, Submarine, Information Warfare Supply, Transportation, Logistics, Intelligence, and Surface Warfare are just a few of the opportunities available to a naval officer!
Best wishes!

#1, you don't "join" the Navy as an officer but as an enlisted man. An officer in any branch of the military gets a commision by an act of Congress upon successfully completing 1 of the following: (a) graduation from one of the military acadamies (b) completion of an ROTC program (c) successful completion OCS (officer's candidate school). As to why: patriotism & love of country are @ the top of the list.

There is only one reason that really matters, and it is multi-faceted. You have a desire to serve your country with honor and feel that being an officer in the United States Navy is the best way to do that. If that does not describe you, then please don't try to become a naval officer.
