>should I leave my military service off of my resume?

Did you do any software dev in your military service? Yes? Add it, if not then there is no need.

I do not. I added it a it explains a major gap which I was thinking was necessary.

Thank you for the response.

Many places do want to know about the gap. So I'd put it in. I've always been either questioned about gaps on my resumes in interviews or had it used against me.

Some will discriminate over it but they'll assume the worst if it's unexplained.
