Former commissioned officer = mucho extra credit points.
I believe you're living somewhat in the past with this one.
With today's society there is a lot of lip service paid to TYFYS but that is about it. Many corporations see military officers as too rigid. In the past, there were many well paying jobs that were strictly supervising/managing that did not require a lot of technical expertise. Former military officers excelled in these positions but unfortunately they are becoming fewer every years.
From my former officer friends that weren't pilots or that were pilots not going the civilian flying root, those with good technical skills (supply, IT, nukes, etc.( go good jobs quickly. Those that had a non-technical degree and did the basic SWO or pilot stuff (for nonflying civilian job route) had a much harder time many times accepting a lesser job than they were seeking. The technically skilled said it was the skill that got them the job, not being an officer. Both agreed that taken by itself, being a military officer was at best a tie breaker.
I am not, of course, talking about the defense industry were the prerequisite for the is military service.
Since I never sought a job outside the airlines/flying, I'll admit this is not first hand information based on personal experience. But It's based on the experiences of a good number of people I served with.
