Corporate Development or FLDP

Trying to decide between a ft in corporate development at decent sized company or FLDP at F100 after graduation. My long-term goal is to break into investment banking. I'm also planning on possibly serving in the military and pursuing my MBA before making the switch if that changes anything. Also was wondering what kind of banks would be attainable (is BB or EB within reach?). Would love to get some perspectives before making a decision.
