I will say to do your research and take advantage of services available to you. Take advantage of educational opportunities, touch the resume with language that properly explains your military work experience to a civilian employer and look into companies that are more military/veteran friendly. As a former Vet, I can understand a little of what you are going through, but there is help out there.
Also, perhaps look into other programs for Vets at colleges and universities like this:
