While the date is a ways away, I'm trying to keep myself competitive for employment in the civilian sector post service. To that end, I've been looking at picking up a masters degree, most likely through AMU. My question is, how do companies view a masters from the online schools, that are primarily for military members to get their box checked, as opposed to a more conventional University?

Just recently, there appears to be some momentum where companies are stating “degree preferred, but not required”. There are some companies that now have intern programs for veterans, mine included.

From my experience, if the online school is accredited, then they are viewed as a "normal" in-seat school. Schools that do not have accreditation tend to be "looked down upon" by businesses as degree factories.
I obtained my masters mostly in-seat, but did have to take a course online due to scheduling w/ the job I had at the time.

Lots of factors here - but if its accredited, compliments your military career - do it.
Make sure it is something xfrable to civilian life. For example - executive officer is like a project manager. So a MS degree in project management would be great.
