Jimmy graduated from high school with very high marks. From his first days at school, he had wanted to attend the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. An uncle whom he idolized had been in the Navy. At the same time, it meant a chance for an education, for there was little money in the family to pay for college.

Carter received an appointment to the Naval Academy in 1942. But first he spent a year at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, taking courses that would help him to pass the entrance examinations to Annapolis. He entered the academy in 1943. There he adapted to the strict discipline, did well in his studies, ran track and cross-country, and played on the lightweight football team. He graduated in 1946 in the upper 10 percent of his class. Soon after, he married Rosalynn Smith, whose family lived near Plains. He had met her in his last year at the Naval Academy. The Carters had four children: John, James Earl 3rd (Chip), Jeffrey, and Amy.

Carter spent seven years in the Navy, attaining the rank of lieutenant (senior grade). During part of that time he worked with Admiral Hyman G. Rickover in the nuclear submarine program. Carter's ambition then was to become an admiral. But when his father died in 1953, Carter felt that it was necessary to return to the family farm.

His undergraduate degree was at the U.S. Naval Academy. After that you will need to look up his bio.

He didn't. Mr. Planter, the peanut man who sell Planters nuts home-schooled Carter. That is why when Pres. Carter speaks, he has mush-mouth and supports the Bolshis. What a liberal nut job.
