I was never in the military, dad was and discouraged me. I think it was a mistake.
That said, I think you should sign up. Not because you like ships and water. On a very large one, I'm guessing it wouldn't be the same. Dad was on the Christy Pane in WW2 and it was a great experience for him, at 14 years old. His parents signed the papers and he lied about his age. He traveled to places he ever knew existed and talked about it for many years afterward.
lol, my grandpa knew a guy that survived pearl harbor, so as the guy said, he worked in the engine room on the Battleship Nevada and he said that the ship tried to make a run for it and got hit by a couple torpedoes and he says he ran up took a look around and jumped overboard haha.
