International Studies degree/ Arabic fluency thinking about 18X

[swarm726]

This is my first post and I was hoping I could receive some advice from guys who are SF. I will be receiving my degree in International Studies where I had the Middle East and Africa as my regional focus. I also happen to have Arabic as my second language. I have always had a strong interest in serving our great nation and have always wanted to be either a Ranger or SF. Would you guys recommend based on my educational background go the 18X route or 35P/35M with option 40 to better familiarize myself with military living and prepare myself for SFAS? I would greatly appreciate your opinions and advice thank you.
