Yeah, there is that. There are some old school civilians who harbor a strong "dis-taste" for GIA pay-to-play pilots. Also GIA alumni have featured in some notorious accidents. I can't imagine they still do pay-to-play in this market, and none of that should apply to an ex-mil pilot, but I'd still probably do the research before you go.
