The life decisions we make in life are layered with hope and evolution. Yes you did read right evolution. when we make a life decision we have hope in the outcome...but the journey will change us and the process change our future life decisions. Deciding to go on a mission may change our perspective so much that we may not want things like the Air Force or the specific path in school anymore. The good thing about a mission is the spiritual growth is going to improve you vision and make you future decisions clearer.
Most opportunities in life have a lot to do with timing. I have served a mission. I have nearly 20 years in the Army and I have a Masters degree. The only real timing choice you have is in a mission. After a while that window will close.
The WILD CARD that you haven't mentioned is Love and Marriage and Children. That's an opportunity that will alter all your plans and your timing.
Perhaps your greatest decision is not so much what you will do with your time, but how you will spend you time. What kind of world do you want live in. Do you want to surround yourself with a committed profession right now--because the AF is truly a way of life that leaves you with little control. A mission is going to be very exciting and challenging and rewarding...but it too has sacrifices that will be hard. The schooling is perhaps the most familiar and yet it affords you with the greatest amount of social freedom and is this opportunity may also fad away depending on how your WILD CARD comes into play.

If I were you I would serve a mission. The seeds sown in you are there and you will now be harm but only richly blessed for your service. This will last for more than just this earthly life.
In all your choices remember you aren't just deciding what to do, but you are also deciding what to discover. Those lands we chose to discover will help us chart our souls and map our hearts and light our paths in life. Lose yourself in all you do, love with all your heart, and enjoy those to whom the Lord has bless you to be in your life, but at the end of the day rest with a spirit of thanksgiving and service.
I have found ways to serve the Lord in School, the Military, and on a Mission, but I discovered who I am on a Mission.
