A question

Hello everyone!

There's something I'm trying to find out for my story - well, two things actually, and I wonder if anyone can help me.

1. In the '60s and '70s, what was the minimum term of service for a naval officer? How long would one sign up for, and how easy/hard was it to quit?

2. Did all private schools in the '50s have entrance exams? Or were there some where any kid could go if his parents had the money?

Someone may have a more definitive answer regarding private schools, but my understanding is that the most popular ones had entrance exams, but there were others which didn't, and you just had to pay the fees to attend. :)

Thanks, that is my thought also. :)
