a)Learn to spell before your SATs.

b)Decide if you want to be an Air Force or Naval aviator.

c)Proceed.

Radio badlivn is correct, your question suggests that you are a minor. In order to get into any of the military academies you need excellent grades among other things. People who get excellent grades have good spelling. Buy a dictionary and use it! Then seek out pilots in your community, ask them for their perspective. Thus you will learn what you need to know to make a decision

US Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, NY.

I'm class of 1953.

Seven of our class entered flight training with the Navy.

Graduates generally get to choose which service they want a commision in, or choose not to serve at all.

It's a good deal, and a sleeper.

I feel that I must defend myself in light of your criticism. Yes I am a minor, but I was raised on computers that have this great feature called spell check. Currently I am in Panama, as an international exchange student, therefore my dictionary resources are limited. Maybe that will prove that I am at least slightly motivated. However, I believe that I asked for your advice and not your critcism, so please share any information, or advice on which academy has the better deal. Thanks.

No,Radioflyer, it just proves that you need to learn to spell. What you were getting was advice. And my guess is that your chances of entry into either establishment will not be improved if you approach it as if you were picking out a vacation.("Which academy has the better deal")
