So whenever it may be that I get out of the military, Im looking into trying to get a job in psychology as possibly civilian DOD or something of the sort. Though I'm not sure how to go about this. Any suggestions, pointers, etc...

You can always check usajobs.gov build a profile/resume. So you can look and apply to jobs wherever you want.

If you decide to apply on USAJobs, be sure to use their resume builder, it puts all the little bits of information into the slots it wants to find them in. Just one more thing to facilitate the first barrier of applicant tracking software.

I'll assume you want to do clinical work of some sort...go to college and get a BA or BS in psychology or a related field (e.g., sociology, social work, education) then go get a master's degree in counseling psychology, clinical psychology, school psychology, or a masters in social work. Having a graduate degree will allow you to perform therapy in a significant majority of environments. I'm happy to give more specific information about your particular interests in psychology. If you're not sure what you want to do with psychology, then that's your first step :)
