As someone who has had a major back injury in the navy, I'd highly advise you to seriously consider the possibilities. Count on your back getting worse not better in the navy.
Ship life can be very hard on the body, especially the back. You'll frequently be going up and down ladders, lifting heavy objects, and walking on uneven/moving surfaces.
In my personal opinion, you need to be able to work out, stand for long periods, and just get through the day without wearing a brace.
