Active Army to IBD

Hello all,
I'm currently working towards my MBA at NC State University. I'm 25 years old and plan to graduate in early 2019, then separating in the fall. I have considered extending to meet recruiting timelines just to provide a "backstop" just incase I'm not selected for an internship. My current work experience is five of special operations with multiple deployments within different areas of Asia. I also speak German and Indonesian at decent level.

With the amount of experience in this forum, I'm mainly looking for tips (aside from networking) and anything that has been noticed on the street in regards to enlisted veterans. As I continue my research, I find that I am more interested in M&A.

Any suggestions or just comments to facilitate discussion is more than welcome! Thanks in advance.

Cheers
