How would this plan work?

Question

Im only 16, but i wanna go to college and become a naval officer (flying jets or helis preferably). I would like to spend 20 years in the navy, and then retire. Can i Go back to school in my 40's to get a law degree? and would the navy pay for it? After my 20 years i would like to be a lawyer

Answer 1

What the person above said is correct.  If you leave the military after 20 years (or even 4, as far as I'm concerned) and you don't have a degree yet, you're a loser whose wasted his/her time. Get it while you're in so you're good to go when you leave.

Answer 2

You can continue your schooling while you serve and have your degree before you get out, and yes the military will pay.
