qualifications for army SF

Just want to apologize in advance for the really long post.
My name's Nick I'm 20 years old. I've done alot of research pretty much since I was a little kid on joining the military. Probably a year ago is when I started seriously considering some sort of special operations career. Like navy EOD, army SF, seals, etc.
I've consulted many family members that are veterans on their opinion. I'm aware the pipeline for army SF is incredibly difficult, but my mentality really is just "they're not asking me to do anything impossible. It may be hard and I may have to push myself, but its not impossible."
I'm aware of all the qualifications for SF, I just would like to be the best fitting candidate and give it all I got.
Basically what I'm asking is, since they prefer you having some sort of college or some other advanced education, would it be seen as a plus if I was a licensed gunsmith when going? I'm looking to get my FFL license when I turn 21 and become a licensed gunsmith.

Also, I know you have to learn some other language in SF. ive bought Rosetta Stone and I'm trying to teach myself the Arabic language. But that will take atleast a couple years to become fluent. In the meantime I plan on getting into the best shape of my life.
Essentially, if I walk in as a 23 year old man or so being a licensed gunsmith, fluent in atleast one key language, and being in great shape, are my odds pretty good of completing the pipeline and graduating?

Thanks for any and all input/advice/pointers. I apologize for the really long post.
