New User -- Changing Careers

Afternoon,

I am currently an Active Duty Logistics Officer in the US Army. I will be transitioning to civilian life within the next year and looking to move into finance. Any and all helpful advice is very welcome. Books, certifications, etc, other recommendations are definitely appreciated to help bridge the gap between my Finance degree 5 years ago. Look forward to being a part of the community!
