I recommend that you focus on the 25 meter target instead of trying to map out how you can stack your resume with graduate degrees, White House Fellowships, astronaut training, etc, etc. First, you have to earn your commission as an officer. Then you have to serve successfully in a troop unit for a couple of years (preferably as a platoon leader of some sort) before you can submit your SF packet. Your packet then has to be approved by Special Forces Branch before you are given an SFAS class date-----not everyone gets a shot at our try-out. SFAS comes next. If you are selected, then you have to make it through the Q-Course. Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
Yes, SF officers are eligible for Advanced Civil Schooling (graduate school in civilian-speak), but only after they prove their mettle on an ODA.
