canuck NCM here

do it, but consider whatever the US uses as a reserve force instead so you can also go to school or get a real job in the meantime. most people don't have much understanding of how military duty works or when you'd go to do stuff, so you're free to fluff it up or outright lie all you want while still having it on your resume legitimately.

from my experience, people don't really understand the difference between an officer and a non-commissioned member (or w/e yankees call non-officers) so it's up to you to choose which one you want. officers make more money but their jobs are a lot less fun. you're basically choosing between being middle management as an officer, or a tradesman or technologist as an NCM.

>Marines due to the weight that the branch has over the others,
nobody likes the Marines since they are (rightfully) seen as rude dudes with a needless 'tude. Go Navy. people not only like them better, but the jobs are cushier and more related to civilian work. e.g. a comms guy in the marines will work with outdated radios, a comms guy in the navy will work with Windows 10 and a bunch of CISCO shit. which one would you rather hire?

>submariner
requires too much training to be a quick thing. you'll be in for a very long time, especially if you're in the regular/full-time force, since you likely have to go through the normal ship training and then get more to be trusted on a submarine. as anything that doesn't normally get high clearance, you'll have to get that as well, which can take years.
>Working on a nuclear submarine as an officer is a POWERFUL fucking resume builder
not really since as cool as it is it doesn't really say much about your skills. and ~le hard lyfe~ is irrelevant to finance and comp sci, if not a detriment (since it's that you spent 5-10 years NOT doing finance or comp sci, so not only are your skills eroded but being off in the ocean for months at a time will mean you're probably not up on latest tech)

At work I'm actually pretty good, I sign up for everything and try to be involved and active in the department

but it's part time military so it's not really a REAL job
