Concur with the above posts.

You are going to get zero credits unless you happen to wind up as an 18D and you have no control over that.

You need to decide if you want a college degree or to be an SF soldier first and pursue that.

If you take that 18X contract and fail to make it to SF, you will get zero credits for being an 11B in Korea. You might want to consider that, since the odds of you making it are less than 50-50. There are a lot of opportunities to fail between signing a contract and walking across the stage at graduation. Juist ask any of the SF Candidates here.
