This is a question I've gotten a lot from some of my Infantry buddies. Here are a few obvious choices to pick from:
1. Law Enforcement (Federal, State, County and City)
2. Armed Security
3. Bodyguard
4. Paramilitary Contractors
5. Coaching/Trainer
Now the top four I know are real obvious. But the 5th one is probably the most coolest. As an infantry Soldier you're fit and energetic. On top of that very disciplined. One of the most sought after Coach today in the world of Sports is a Strength and Conditions Coach. There are a lot of other jobs out there but this to me takes the cake. It's different but at the same time you're helping Head Coaches not only whip these young souls into shape but with disiciplining. The most important part of this job is that you build a team on values you know works. And in turn help these young people be better Citizens.

Transferable Skills:
1.) Time Management
2.) Problem Solving
3.) Small Unit Leadership
4.) Supervisory
5.) Teaching / Instructing
6.) Team Building
I could go on. But, I strongly encourage you to stop thinking like a gun-slinger. No matter what you do in the civilian world, you will be a professional (fill in the blank)!
Best of luck, SPC Eddie "Nemo" Aiumu!

Being able to think on your feet, improvise, and adapt are some of the best qualities you can bring with you.
Many employers while supportive and thankful for a service members time in service, will not hire you based on that. Many will also retrain you (as others have said) mainly because you may know how to (fill in the blank) but you do not know how to their way.
Start thinking about you cognitive skills, try to complete a degree before you exit from the service so at least you bring education with you.
