I'm opposed to the idea that this will become a social expectation to the extent that it will be asked on college/job applications. Outside of the military, most of these organizations rely primarily on unpaid/volunteer service. The reality of that means this is just another way to force poor kids into the military while rich (usually white) kids go off to travel the world.

It's exactly the type of proposal I'd expect from someone like Pete.
