Bachelors in Psychology vs Homeland Security for working in a federal agencies

I’m currently an all source intelligence analyst in the USMC, and I’m wondering if I should get a degree in psychology or homeland security for work as an investigator (1811) for federal agencies. I’m also taking foreign language classes in Arabic, though I’d still be doing that with either pathway.

Additionally what would be better if I stay as an all source analyst and try to do that in the civilian field?

USMC Intel specialist wanting to go to SFAS

So I’m an Intel specialist in Okinawa, and I’ve been wondering about putting in a package for SF once I EAS. I’ve been wanting to go to SF for the more interesting, appealing, and in demand/just demanding mission set. However after doing my research of the physical standards, I found that a lot of the sites and tools don’t really show the strong physical guarantees.

So I’d want to put my physical stats out there and know where exactly to work on, and also just know a bit more abt selection in general.

I run a 20:18 minute 3 mile and a 11:03 minute 2 mile.
Max 24 pull-ups
2:38 12 mile ruck time
300 CFT
4:49 minute plank time
I can do 500 yards in utilities in under 15 minutes
32 meter underwater crossover as my max
And I can make the 12 minute tread times, don’t know my max tread time yet, but I can go over 20 minutes.

With that in mind, I’d like to know where I can work on for selection, what would make me a better candidate, what I should focus on for diet, and lastly- what sort of physical standards does the cadre find competitive? What kind of tests can I expect and what should I make sure is solid?

Also, out of curiosity if anyone knows, what’s the percentage of people who finish selection that actually get selected?
