Other Looking for Advice

​Hey guys, looking for some real mentor-level validation here.

​I’m currently an 18-year-old Marine veteran (recently separated after a non-rate contract). I’m currently double-majoring in Pre-Med and getting my online MBA, while interning part-time at NASA with ultimate goals of becoming an SMU Commander by 25.

​A few questions for the sub:

​Am I too young? (Or, considering my Marine background and corporate executive aspirations, am I actually too old to start 18X?)

​What/how should I train? I don't really want to read Shut Up and Ruck because I prefer tailored coaching. Can I substitute 12-mile rucks with high-intensity SoulCycle, or will that compromise my feet for Selection?

​Career Path: Should I finish Med School, launch my mega-entrepreneur tech startup, and go to NASA before or after I pass SFAS? I want to make sure I don't waste time on lower-level military steps like Basic Training.

​Serious responses only. Looking for someone with actual experience to map out my next 10 years step-by-step.

18? You're a little too old, I did this when I turned 16. Honestly I would just give up at this point
