Go to uni, have a blast, get a degree. Join up afterwards, have another blast, get paid as much as you would have, had you already been in for those 4 years and have a degree to wield when you leave. I haven't yet heard of anyone in the GD(P) branch having time to do the In-Service Degree thing.
I'd avoid the UAS EFT thing if poss. - same amount of hours as full-time guys whilst you undertake the 'rigours' of a uni degree? Hmmm.
No-brainer.
