Right now I'm going into my second year of law school (prior to law school I received a B.A.) and like many law students I've realized that being a lawyer isn't for me. As my reply on the introduction thread states I've had an interest in the military and specifically SF since I was a child and now I've come to the realization that I want to give it my all and sign an 18x-ray contract. I want to be SF first and foremost, and secondarily apply for OCS and become an 18A after serving some time as an SF NCO (This is just a goal and I know there is definitely no certainty).

My question is should I finish my last two years of law school then enlist, or enlist sooner rather than later? I'm lucky enough that tuition money isn't an issue and I'm wondering if having an advanced degree would help me as an officer?
