Yes! And you have Navy pay for your college as you go to school. It's a beautiful set up. :) Check the links below also!

FROM navy.com:

There's no better way to accelerate your education than earning college credits while in the Navy. The Navy has a generous reimbursement program for Sailors who attend college during their free time, and the Navy brings instructors aboard ships while underway to help deployed Sailors keep up on their studies. In addition, the training the Navy gives you to do your job usually counts for college credits.

This means that if you decide to leave the Navy, you'll have part of your college requirements already out of the way - and if you've signed up for Navy scholarship programs and the G.I. Bill, you'll have money waiting to help you pay for the rest.

On the other hand, you can stay in the Navy and use the reimbursement programs to fund your graduate or postgraduate degree while still enlisted. And once you have your degree, you may be eligible for Officer Candidate School to continue your career as a commissioned officer.

The Navy College Program: Allows Sailors to earn credits for the training they receive in the Navy. There are many components to this program; visit the Navy College Program Web site for more details.

Tuition Assistance: Pays for up to 100 percent of the tuition for courses taken by Sailors on their own time (off-duty) at accredited institutions.

Naval Academy: Select sailors can obtain a full four-year scholarship to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Candidates must receive a nomination to attend the Academy from a senator or congressman and must undergo a demanding approval process. Competition is stiff, but those awarded this prestigious scholarship will have all expenses paid and will earn a bachelor's degree and a commission in the United States Navy upon graduation.

Officer Candidate School: If you're a college graduate, you may be eligible to attend Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island.

What is the difference between the navy and the navy reserves?

The Difference between the Navy and the Navy Reserves is that Navy is Active duty. This means that naval personnel belong to, work for, and get paid by the Navy 24 hours a day. Navy Reserve personnel are civilians most of the time. They work for the navy 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks out of the year. The rest of the time they lead what ever life they want. The Navy reserves is like the US Navy's savings account of personnel. When they do not have enough people to support a mission, they call navy reserve personnel to active duty to fill in the gaps. Naval Officers commissioned through the NROTC program may receive their commission into the Naval Reserve or the regular Navy. Those in the reserves will serve on active duty for four to six years before being transferred to a reserve unit near where they are going to live. While there are those who go directly to the Naval Reserve right out of BT, the vast majority of Reservists (myself included) are, or were, active duty Navy sailors at some point, most being either officers or NCO's. Individual Reservists can also be called to Temporary Active Duty, in lieu of an entire unit. This is done in cases where the sailor has unique skills or qualifications necessary for the mission requirements.
