    I Got to watch my son LT Commander Dan Denton walk across the stage and graduate from USNA in tge class of 2010. Thar was a very emotional moment watching his cross that stage.
    I had blown my naval academy appointment back in 1982 so seeing my son graduate from USNA in May of 2010 was a very special moment in time for both of us.

But to my understanding if you go to the Navy, Marines, Army or Air Force college you have to enlist in that branch of service. After graduation, you are an actual, full time serviceman or woman. They get deployed, stationed overseas and everything any other soldier faces.
