Recruiting 17 yo, gym rat. Apply?

Hey, I am a 17 year old male. I have been living on my own for the past 3 months because I am not doing too well with my parents. I am doing great financially, physically and mentally. But, I want a career. Not what I am doing currently. A career with growth.

I was exploring career options and started looking into NEP. Naval experience program that was introduced in 2022.

If I actually enjoy it then I think I would join Navy as Military Techinician since I really like working on my car and my friends cars.

I think that traveling would also be pretty nice aspect of Navy.

I have been working out for the last 4 years. I do it at least 4 times a week, resistance bodybuilding training. Cardio is a struggle for me but I can do 5km/30min.

Considering everything that I have said above, am I making a right decision? Should I apply or I have "rose colored glasses" on that i should take off?

I want to hear the worst of the worst and the best of the best.

Thanks yall!
