NROTC without Scholarship?
      I  want  to  be  an  officer  in  the  Navy. I  want  to  be  a  computer  programmer  within  it.  I'm  really  trying  to  get  into  Anapolis  or  the  Scholarship  but  I  don't  think  I  will.  I  am  worried  that  if  I  don't  get  the  scholarship  and go  into  the  Navy  as  a comissioned  Ensign  I  will not  have  enough  money  to  pay  back  my  student  loans  by  the  time  my  first  enlistment  is  up  (four  years to  pay  it  off  but  i'll  probably  serve  more)?  I  really  want  to  go  to  the  Navy  to  carry  on  the  tradition  of  my  family  but  I  don't  want  to  have  to  serve  while  figuring  out  how  to  pay  for  my  student  loans  and still  having  them  when  I  go  into  the  private  sector.  Schools  I  would  be  looking  at  would  be  Pitt,  Penn  State,  and  University  of  Arizona (approx.  20k/year).  I  don't  want  to  sound  like  I'm  only  doing  this  for  money.  If  I  was  I  would  not  be  considering  doing  ROTC  while  not  on  scholarship.  I  want  to  serve  my  country  but  I  am  very  worried  about  paying  for  college.  I  don't  want  my  parents  to  have  to  pay  a  cent  because  its  my  education  not  theirs. Thank  you  for  all  serious  answers  on  whether  it  is  doable  or  not  and  the  best  course  of  action.
