    So basically it has to be someone who is from that world and doesn’t travel to another world through dubious divine, magic or technological soul/body transport. I guess an exception may be if things like stargates and such are common (so like a high tech sci-fi kind of thing) and not unique to MC or are a plot point of MC.

    Ace of the Dragon Division
    Zhan Long (sortaish)
    Tenkyou no Alderamin
    God Level Bodyguard in the City
    Altina the Sword Princess (both protags)
    Youjo Senki (but it's isekai)
    GATE (but semi-isekai)
    Dawnbringer (but technically rebirth in the future. same universe/timeline though)
    Full Metal Panic

    Those are the only ones i can think of that either have a proper military background OR are in the military still.

    Yes, and it doesn't have to be sci-fi. The mc is from that world and stays in that world also no rebirth.

    You could try Second Life Ranker? I believe MC was in the military before the series start, but then he gets involved in this dimensional world intersection thing (so he isn’t on earth anymore but it doesn’t have transmigration tag sooo...). Are you just looking for a military background (in military, was in military or from a military family) or MC in military for more or less the whole story.
    Well here are 210 stories with the military tag and you could just look at the tags if it has transmigration, reincarnation, etc and just gloss over those (shouldn’t take too long and better than searching blind):

    It's a very common trope in Korean novels, if that helps.
