Merely for your consideration: if you are able to pass the security clearance then you can "join the military" by applying to CISA or the NSA, as I am certain they'll be glad to get all the computer science help they can

The bad news is that I'm mostly talking second-hand since I only know people who have gone that path, without having tried it myself

I’ve actually tried applying to the NSA before and various other government agencies but never heard anything back lol
