Sam,
Since you are a retired(ing) Marine Corps infantry officer, I'll type slowly.
I am a retired Navy helicopter pilot (so I type real slow anyway

) and have been working in the business world for almost five years. I have helped a lot of my friends and colleagues transition and would be more than happy to provide my opinions on the subject.
PM your email address and I ship you my cell number.
You have some exciting times ahead. Congratulations on your career and successes to date, the story will continue!
Best.
