Questions about Joining the CIA after Army career?

I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in June with a Double Major in Chemistry and English. I'm now looking into, even though I've been pondering the idea for a while now, into enlisting into the Army. But I have no interest in being an officer. I want to go into the 18x program to become a Special Forces Medic. Which I'm scheduled to sit down with a recruiter on Friday to talk about my choices. From the conversation we had on the phone, I can see not only is the Army looking like a good choice because of the job, but also for the money. Since I have a Degree apparently I get some pat bonus. And since I also am fluent in foreign languages I get pay for that as well. Native English and Russian. I was born here but my parents are from Belarus, at the time which was the USSR. I'm also fluent in German, French, Swedish, Spanish, and I speak a good amount of Czech. But, I would like to pursue a career after my time in the Army in the CIA as a Paramilitary Operations Officer. Now I understand I have a long time to wait, but I'm just looking forward at the moment as well. So I was looking at the requirements on the CIA's Website. Except for the military, it seems like a fit all the requirements with education. But it says one of the requirements is "combat leadership experience." Now from what that says it seems as if there saying officership. I wonder if being an NCO can p as leadership. So please help me out if you can. Sorry for the spelling and the grammar, I'm not a big fan of computers.
