Vet Transition

Hello everyone

I'll be leaving active duty next February after 5.5 years in the Army as a captain and I'm seeking out knowledge. I would appreciate any advice for breaking in to the finance or consulting worlds from anyone who has been down my path or has particular insight. Thanks in advance.
