Placement Into Top Firms via Veteran Hiring Initatives

Hi everyone. I'm currently a first year analyst at a top group in an MM. I'm beginning to map out a tentative timeline to transition into PE and am curious if anyone on this forum has been hired into KKR, Blackstone, or Carlyle through their Veterans Recruiting Programs.

I served in the Marines for five years and was curious if these programs would actually help open some of these opportunities up to me.
