welcome
Welcome Cory. First off, at least you have a plan, which in itself goes a long way. Secondly, I would really try to get a 4 year degree instead of a 2 year associates. Thirdly, have you considered letting the U.S Navy pay for your training and giving them years of service back in return? I myself did not go the military route, but just trying to give you some options.
Good luck on your journey.
