Other options
TR mentioned National Guard soldiers and their diverse civilian backgrounds. One option that hasn’t been mentioned in this thread is, concurrently pursuing your law degree and Special Forces goals. The National Guard offers the Rep 63 program, which is essentially the Guard version of the 18X, this is one possibility. The ABA allows 6 years for a student to complete the requisite classes for a JD from an accredited school. (Otherwise your earned credits are lost and you have to start from scratch) You could take a leave of absence from school, go do your training and then finish the degree afterward between deployments. Another option would be to enlist as an 11B and leave for Basic and AIT during a law school summer break. Since this is your first taste of the Army, you can see if you like it and then switch to a NG SF unit and then pursue your goals from there if you so choose.
