I will have around 5 years of experience as a naval officer at the time of application with at least one international deployment and leadership experience. I realize my gpa is low, do I still have a decent chance at a top 15 or should I apply more broadly? Thanks!

Your GRE score is very good. I see that your list already has a pretty broad range of b-schools on it. Perhaps you could add 1-2 that would be safer bets, and reduce some from the list you have mentioned, that said- apply to only the programs you will be sure to attend if that would be the only admit you get.
As a military applicant, you should be able to show a lot of leadership skills and achievements, which will be valued by b-schools. Be sure to have a solid goals essay.
