I am concerned of this because while I will be graduating soon with my BS in Business and a minor in philosophy I think I would like to get my masters before signing my 18x. I also hope to gain the valuable maturity and experiences that are so highly spoken of throughout this forum before enlisting, so that I don't "waste the Army's time and money," . I am asking this question because I know that the 18x option was not always around, and I don't want to miss my chance by continuing my education.
Thanks,

FWIW, I waited too long to join, I'm kicking myself in the ass because I didn't see the light sooner. Higher education will corrupt your mind. Think I'm crazy? Well maybe so. Join Now.
Once you get into the Grad School society you'll change as a person. You'll begin to not only think that you know everything, but truly believe it. That education will get you absolutely nowhere when faced with a life or death situation.
I trodded through 5 miserable years of civilian employment after I graduated college. I realized that this bullshit 9-5, wife and kids, ain't the way I wanna live. I want to push myself beyond all of my self-created limits. I want to know what it feels like to face death. I want to destroy myself--all of my "known" self--and recreate a new person out of the ashes...Only out of self-destruction will you truly evolve and become who you are meant to be.
Only when I give up everything and reach down into my core do I feel truly alive. This is why I joined.
