Hey, I am currently working on my Doctorate in Chemical Engineering and should have everything completed within the next 6 months. I have known for about 2 years that I wanted to join the military, I just really want to finish at UPenn before I enlist.

I'm currently strongly considering either Air Force for a chance to be a CCT or Army for Combat Engineer and a chance to be a Ranger, although nothing is set in stone. I know for certain I want to at least try to get into some form of special forces.

I'm very busy with school, but I have stopped drinking and been training hard for about two years, mainly running, swimming, push ups, lots of stretching and yoga, I use the campus gym when I have time.

Anyone have any ideas on how to improve my shot? Will having my Doctorate do anything for my chances at getting into special forces. I'm fluent in Arabic and pretty good at speaking Mandarin. (Self taught and still learning, cant really write well at all though) I just turned 25, I am 6'1 at 175 pounds 9% body fat.
