How many ex-military folks can pass the FB phone screen, let alone whiteboard? (How many software engineers, for that matter?) For the military, where officers are making even less than a SDE 1 at Microsoft, this is insane amounts of money. Equivalent to 3 years of salary for NCO or enlisted. I hate the "why doesn't X just become a software engineer" attitude.
