US Coast Guard Academy vs UC Berkeley for IB?

USCGA - Mechinical engineer, free tuition, five year of mandatory service, would love to serve & work hard for our nation, weak to no connections (?)

UC Berkeley - Business administration, out of state tution with scholarship, no service, can work hard enough for a decent GPA, stronger business connections

Which would lead me more opportunities in IB? Is USCGA even good for IB? Will the military leadership serve any purpose or just no benefit?
