I went to college for two years, then four years in the Air Force, then two more years at college to finish my degree. I can’t imagine being in the military would hurt you in applying to top schools. A lot of schools love veterans because they tend to be more mature and disciplined in their studies.

It wouldn’t hurt to contact the schools you’re interested in and ask.

I knew one guy who went to Berkeley after he got out of the military. Most of the people I knew who left the military didn’t go directly to college, if they went at all.

My main concern with your post was that you want to be a Recon Scout Sniper. That may be harder to do than getting into a top school. What you specifically end up doing in the military is more about what the military needs at the time you’re in, and how many other people are competing for the position. Accommodating the wishes of personnel isn’t something the military makes a high priority.
