As a current AT1 selected for OCS and starting training on July 8th I wanted to leave my take on this. Whatever route you take do not let your enlisted evaluations slip early in your career. You have an obligation to your enlisted job first. One you prove to the Navy that you can succeed in your field in addition to finishing your degree it will be easy for your chain of command to support your package. If you are interested in commisioning in the medical field look into the Medical Enlisted Commisioning Program, it is in OPNAVINST 1420.1B. You'll find all the info in there for the Navy's commisioning programs. As far as your degree plan goes it may be wise to do a BA in Liberal Studies. Best of luck to you and don't lose focus.
