In the Reserve, you can.
To go to college while joining the navy is to go to a NROTC (Naval Reserve Officers Training CORPS) college. Which is a college that has navy affiliation and you can take a class learning about navy military customs, traditions, and technology which upon graduating college you will be in the navy ranked as an officer and will have to serve usually 4 years of front line duty in the navy. While you go to college you will get paid for being in the navy and you can major anything you want to, however the navy will choose where you will be put and the job you will be doing. A link to see the NROTC colleges is- http://www.navy.com/careers/nrotc/colleges/ (you have to copy and paste it) Another way of going to college and joining the navy is to go to the Naval Academy, which is the same as a NROTC college only it has majors that focus strictly on jobs in the navy. In both you will graduate as an officer and will have to go to boot camp either during the summer or immediately after graduation.
An online application form must be completed to apply for a scholarship with the NROTC. Here you will also find details of the age and quaifications required to apply.
Yes, there is an ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) program specifically for the United States Marine Corps. It is called the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Marine Option (NROTC MO) and provides college students the opportunity to receive commissions as officers in the Marine Corps upon graduation. Participants in the program attend regular college classes while also receiving military training and leadership development.
There are a number of ways to get obtain a commission in the Navy. One is to attend any university and then attend Officers' Candidate School. Another is to participate in NROTC at a University that has it. That will get you a commission upon graduation.
Do NROTC at a law school and you may be allowed to go into the non-restricted line of service. But most likely your obligated service will be served on the restricted line.
ROTC units are organized as battalions, and also include NROTC. The term of obligatory service varies based on the type of commission the cadet. In the military academies, they are referred to as cadets.
The obvious selection would be the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. Any school that has an NROTC program would be acceptable. The military schools like Texas A&M and the Citadel are better.
