I'm planning on joining the Navy... should I still take the SAT??

Question

Hi, I'm planning on joining the Navy after HS, but I still intend to go to college and get a degree perhaps while I'm in the military or after I get out... or a little bit of both? Would there be any advantages to taking the SAT?

Any Advice??

thanks.

Answer 1

Ah, if you plan on taking college class's while in the navy, you would still need to take the SAT or ACT if you ever plan on taking classs at a university.

The ignorant people who keep trying to say this is Bush's war, need to get a life and get educated.

This is America's war being fought by America's Military.

There is no such thing as Bush's military.

Answer 2

Like the other services, the Navy offers a chance for qualified enlisted sailors to finish college and earn a commission as a Naval Officer. Until a few years ago, the Navy had a large variety of enlisted commissioning programs, including: See link below for more information.

Military personnel are in the top 50% of our population both mentally and physically. The standards have been relaxed lately, but it is a great career. I retired at 42 with 21 years. Only got shot at one time in Viet Nam and they missed by an inch.

Answer 3

Take the SAT definitely and maybe the ACT as well. If I remember correctly you can join the Navy and take the SAT and ACT after you get in, and it may even be paid for through education assistance. Talk to you recruiter about what programs will be available. Keep in mind that the information from High School will be fresher in your mind if you take the SAT and/or ACT before you go into the Navy.

Answer 4

i'm a felon too and tried to connect the army yet could not get a waiver. I on no account tried for the army yet whilst the army has mentioned no i might say that's going to be probable be a similar with the army. it is mad the way that blunders you're making in the previous continuously look to return back on appropriate of you.

Answer 5

If you're thinking about getting a degree, you'll eventually need to take either an SAT or ACT. If you take it now and get an unusually high or low score, that might make you rethink your plan. (An unusually high score might point you toward NROTC, for example.)

Don't worry about taking it and having it hurt you later. You can always take it over again, and although some schools insist on knowing about all your scores, they still end up usually basing their admissions decisions on your best score.

Answer 6

I would plan as if I were going directly into college just in case something falls through with the navy. There are alot of requirements to get in... mental health history, criminal history, drug use and your complete physical condition. Don't put all your eggs in one basket!!
Good Luck!!

Answer 7

Of course! You're PLANNING on joining the Navy. What if you drop out/wash out/feel like a change of career? You'll want something to fall back on, trust me.

Oh, and don't be discouraged by the tools on here who say not to die for Bush's agenda yadda yadda yadda. They're just democrats who don't support our troops overseas and won't support them when they come home. Do what YOU feel is right, and do it for yourself and your country. Nobody fights a war based on who's sitting in the White House, you fight for who's standing next to you. But they wouldn't know that, because they've never done it.

Answer 8

Join the air force, the navy are a bunch of fairy's.

Answer 9

I would not bother taking the SAT. While you are in, you wont need it to take college courses, and by the time you get out, you will have to take it again or not at all.

Answer 10

The SAT's are not required for Bush's war, just a young person who is willing to risk their life is the only requirment.
