<p>That is misleading. If they are looking for software development/engineering positions with a BS CS background, I wonder how they are going to fair on a technical skills interview. No one is going to give you a cookie because you spent some time in uniform.</p>

<p>Actually, there are quite a few reasons why they would not have completed a Master’s in a STEM and have 3-5 years of experience in a similar timeframe compared to a reservist. It takes at least 48 months from date of commission to meet the TIG/TIS requirement for O-3. From what I’ve heard, you may be afforded the opportunity to ADSO around or after company command time for graduate school. But again, this is an ADSO which carries an “additional duty service obligation”.</p>

<p>IMO, it’s a waste to go to a Service Academy and not opt for a branch that has the furthest promotion opportunities.</p>
