I want to be a Seal but I'm not sure where to start?

Me and my best friend have dreamed of being seals for as long as I can remember. I think it started in 6th or 7th grade when we discovered both of us shared the same great plans for ourselves. Since then weve grown more serious about joining, but then we hit a snag. We have no idea what to do to get in. Both of us want to go to college, that's non-negotiable. Because of that, PLAN 1 was both of us planned to join the national guard our junior year, use the money from that to go to college, then transfer to the navy and join the seals. Wyoming offers college first, so we wouldn't be deployed while at school and we'd both enroll for ROTC to become officers. Our first problem is that we wouldn't be able to do all 4 years of college, seeing as college first only covers your first two years of school. Second, we don't know if being an officer in the guard and then joining the seals would carry your rank over. PLAN 2 is for us to both try and get into the naval academy after high school. I know, it's hard to get in, but both of us are motivated enough that with lots of hardwork im sure we can make it. After the academy we'd join the seals as officers. The only worry with plan two is that I really really don't want to deployed on a ship. will they do that after the academy or can you join wherever you want? Which plan do you think is best, or are both crap and we should scrap them both. I'm open to anything right now. Btw, we are both sophomores and are working on the physical aspect already, we just need a plan to get in.
