Also from time to time, the Air Force has given age waivers so Navs can go to UPT. I would not count on this, but it may happen. Also, you will make lots of contacts in the military that may help you out in the future, when it comes to job recommendations, etc. I know several Navs that flew civillian on the side, and later went to the regionals, fractionals, and majors.

Good luck, and beware of "goat night" at nav school.
