Having flown in the corp world, the military never really had an advantage. They want a grey hair and no fighter jet jocks.
More than once, we've rescued a sim instructor.
Just be sure to get on with a quality outfit. Corp offices that lease out their planes to 135 ops should be avoided.

Military men are known for being able to quietly handle business, and even go above and beyond. The prior military corporate guys I know simply make sure everything is ready. Clean, serviced, maintained aircraft, paperwork, receipts, tax documents to the company accountants and so on. Most people just don't roll up their sleeves and RUN the flight department.
I know the OP said his goal was to be a legacy right seater, but flying 400 hours a year for a company that adores you and has you home almost every night is great.
Plus, with corporate, sometimes you can take significant others or children along on company trips if there are empty seats.
I've flown a couple to the caribbean so they could get on a friend's yacht. They let me bring a friend, and paid our expenses to hang out for a week.
