What does an art/photography school have to do with the Navy?

If you are asking if you can join the Navy and get an education in the arts and or photography I don't know. Photography would make sense ...surveillance. Why don't you contact them directly. I am assuming you are an American. Although people from other countries are able to join the US forces.
Not my thing.
PEACE.

Ph is the term your looking for. Photographers Mate? That is a very hard to get profession in the Navy. There are not many billets for that rating. It's also very hard to go up in rank with that rate.

about 3 months. photography is cool as long as promotion isn't what you're concentrating on. as stated above, it's hard to get a spot in the first place. slots for this rate is very limited and it's much harder to get promoted than other rates.
