MMA is a sweet deal if you can swing it.

Know a few folks who went through it, and several went straight military. Part of the reason is that you're still obligated to military service via the MMAm just as a Navy reserve officer, and the Naval services (Navy, Marines, Coast Guard) will generally take you since you're an academy grad and already know naval military leadership.

You're also obligated to the federal gov, not necessarily the service, so you could in theory try to be an Army officer.
