I'm a recent college grad, and I am interested in joining the US Navy. I want to work in a lab, is there anything like that in the Navy?

You can try but the CC 2+2 while a good idea for most isn't gonna get you to officership. You need four years ROTC (NOT HIGH SCHOOL JROTC) and you just can't do that and get your years (yes there are ways to but that's a one in a million shot). You're also best off with a STEM degree.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
