I am a former enlisted (retired) military member. I do not believe it is a ticket to the majors. I do believe however that all other things being equal: flight time, education, etc. military service, either enlisted or officer, is viewed favorably by most majors. That's just my opinion. No stats to back it up. In other words, if you are choosing the military to serve your country, good on you! I would not let anyone mislead you into believing it's an automatic ticket to the majors.
