Thinking of joining reserves if I don't get internship this summer

Currently senior ME major with no internship yet. The job market has been pretty bad (at least that's how I felt) and I still couldn't land on any internships. Since my goal is to work for the defense or federal gov AND commission as an officer in the reserves in the future, I'm considering enlisting first in the reserves and going to BCT this summer to fasten my citizenship process, get some work experience, and experience military life just a little more before becoming an officer. How do you think of this plan? Do you recommend it or not? (I'm aware of the possibility of deployments)
