<p>I'm 22 years old and I live in O'ahu Hawai'i. I've been in the Navy for over three years. I have three years left in the Navy and then I plan on probably going to college. I came into the military straight from high school, so I don't have any kind of degree either. I have two major paths that I'm considering pursuing: Med field (med school) or Engineering field (Biomed). I really like math and science even though I'm not the best at it. In the Navy I work as a linguist. I'm a translator for seven languages. I also can use my TA (tuition assistance) while I'm in the Navy and I have my GI bill when I get out.
What I'm doing now to prepare for my future is through self-study, learning all the maths (Pre-Cal, Cal I,II,III) and sciences (Physics, Org Chem, Biology, Thermodynamics etc.) I think I'll need when I apply for college. As well as continuing to keep my language skills in tact.
My question to you all is, after knowing a bit about me and what I would like to do when I get out, do you think I'm taking the right steps to achieve my future goals? (when you consider what I'm doing now to prepare for my future plans) What are some recommendations? advice? criticism? thoughts? suggestions? etc. Any help is greatly appreciated!! :-)</p>

<p>P.S. - I pose this question because after browsing through a slew of posts on this site, it seems like you guys are extremely knowledgeable about the college process and such. So, I hope this post doesn't seem too strange. Thanks!</p>
