Your rank is a symbol of accomplishment. Those around you recognize your effort, commitment, diligence, and perseverance because they're familiar with what it took to rise to your level during military service.
But how will you translate your military accomplishments to be understood by civilians once you leave service? Maybe consider a degree - it's the closest thing to rank after service! Take a look and share if any of these options interest you: http://rly.pt/2nZYRJM

American Military University My job after the military was at a chemical plant. I was hired along with someone with a degree, out of 100 people interviewed. I was hired because I could explain how my drive and determination would be perfect for the job. I also had a well written resume and did very well on the tests they gave me. I also mentioned that I would be working on a degree which probably helped. Once I had my degree, I went to work on my dream job.

I'm currently managing the Navy's $1.5B/year global utility program and I'm retiring next year. My ideal job is managing a similar large facilities or commodities procurement program, so I do think that my skills will be relevant. Specifically, I think my most valuable skills are setting and measuring relevant metrics, evaluating project proposals, and procurement through alternative strategies such as third-party financing.
