You are proposing that prospective pilots join the Army or Marines in order to get their hours in a rotor wing, so they can come out and try to transition to fixed wing and get their ratings in 250 hours with little support other than their GI bill?
There just aren't enough fixed wing pilots coming out of the military these days, unless they are drone pilots (which doesn't count). Not enough fixed wing pilots since the budget sequester went into effect.
