Hello all. I posted here a long time ago but some of my situations have changed and would like some fresh advice.

I am an enlisted Airman looking for some info on MBA and which path/chances to take. I am an Airborne Linguist in the AF learning Mandarin and I already know a couple of other languages. My question is what can I do to better myself to get the best shot at a great MBA program in a few years when my contract is up (if I consider going full-time vs part-time?)

My bachelor is International Business from Suffolk University in Boston.

The job is quite interesting and I am told the stress and leadership potential is huge once I actually start performing the duties as well as potential opportunities later on as well for a military linguist.

My question is how can I leverage that experience as well as use my free time to add whatever needs to be added to be a great candidate? At the moment I have only taken a practice GMAT as recently as two months ago and my score is 600ish with a slightly stronger score in verbal than math and a 5.5 AWA. I was wondering if it would be wise to try to get at least a few levels of CFA done while I serve to boost my resume. My only downfall that I can think of is that I may be getting older, I am 28 and would be 33 by the time I finish. Should I go for part-time evening? (I have to even see if that is feasible with my schedule.)

Any and all expert advice from is much appreciated and thank you ahead of time.

Well I think that as an enlisted airman and given what you are doing, you are gonna have loads of opportunities to do what you at work, so no need to worry there. Free time - What about leadership in other aspects of your life? through volunteer work? community service? sports activities? OR, if you have some ideas and the time, entrepreneurial projects (especially ones that succeed) always look GREAT.

The CFA could be good if you are planning to go into some very related and need it anyway, otherwise for getting into an MBA it's totally unnecessary, and doesn't help you as much as any of the above activities would. Being older can make things tougher, but you can always use the reason that you were locked into a fixed duration military contract (I'm assuming this is the case, correct me if otherwise) as an explanation of the timing.
