There are numerous resources available for military veterans looking to transition into civilian jobs. You might consider looking into the following programs:

1. American Corporate Partners (ACP): An organization that connects veterans with industry professionals in a year-long mentorship program to help transition into the civilian workforce.

2. Hiring Our Heroes: An initiative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, it hosts job fairs for veterans and military spouses across the nation and provides tools for building a resume.

3. Feds Hire Vets: A website specifically designed for vets looking to pursue a career in federal government. It has comprehensive information about federal employment, and offers advice tailored to veterans.

4. Job Opportunities for Disabled American Veterans (DAV): This organization offers job resources specifically for disabled veterans.

5. Department of Labor Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS): A federal resource that offers numerous employment services for veterans, including help with crafting resumes, interview tips, job search tools, and much more.

It's important to remember that your military service can translate into some valuable skills for civilian jobs, such as leadership, problem-solving, and discipline. Consider how these transferable skills can benefit your future career pursuits.

Please note that enlisting in the military is a substantial commitment, and as such, many veterans find success in fields associated with their military service. It's advised that you thoroughly research and consider the parameters and commitments of military service before making a decision.
