As a current college freshman (19 years old) I’m having a hard time deciding between these two. In my mind I have 2 options set up. My first option is to go active duty as an 11b and serve my time, then after go back to college and get my bachelors or simply go right to work. My second option is to go into the Maryland national guard as an 11b and after OSUT go back to college and get my degree while in the national guard, then once my contract is up reenlist as active duty.
My main goal after service is to go into federal law enforcement, however most jobs require a bachelors degree, and the service gets veterans preference points. Are there any tips or pointers anyone has to help with this decision?

As a current college freshman (19 years old) I am having a hard time deciding whether to active duty as 11B, serve my time, and either go straight to work or back to college after my service. My other option is joining the national guard as an 11b and completing college, then at the end of my contract and after college, going active duty also as an 11b.
My main goal is to go into federal law enforcement after service, and since a bachelors degree is required for almost any field position, I’m not sure which route to take.
Any tips or pointers to possibly help with this decision?
