He continued his education by enrolling in the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, from which he graduated with distinction in 1993, in the top 10% of his class, for which he was rewarded with the Trident Scholar Program, which gave him an opportunity for independent academic research.

During his studies, he served as a researcher for the House Armed Services Committee under Les Aspin’s tenure, who was a US Representative at that time. Page spent five years in the US Navy, and was also deployed to Morocco as a member of a United Nations peacekeeping mission, serving as an intelligence officer. In 1994, Carter obtained his Master of Arts degree from Georgetown University, majoring in National Security Studies.
