Is going to merchant navy good after 12th?

you won't be an actual part of the military but you will serve in our merchant fleet. Perhaps if the US Navy is not for you then perhaps the Military Sealift Command may be to your liking where you would serve on military transport vessels(not combatants).The Merchant Navy is a non-combatant commercial fleet, which deals with transporting cargo and occasionally, passengers, by sea.
