Either way, I fear I'm done and since this is public let me just share with the youngsters out there that this blows. You don't know fear until you've started looking for a job in the civilian world. Things I have never worried about before keep me awake now. Seriously.
First off, take a deep breath and realize that you don't have to find a job TODAY. Yes, it is coming faster than you expected, but you also have more resources than you currently realize.
This thread is the one I made to chronicle my post-retirement job plans, but there is plenty of other advice scattered around here in various threads (including the airliner ones if that is your thing), and even more in the great wide world of the internet.
Don't forget to take advantage of every inch of help the military provides transitioning veterans (and there is quite a bit). Reconnect on LinkedIn with squadron mates who got out and seem to have their crap in one sock, especially if they are in the kinds of industries you are interested in. Ask them what they did, get help with your resume, reach out to people in companies that have jobs you are interested in to get yourself around the HR gate guards. Some of us on here hire for our companies, and can give you the straight scoop on what you can expect and what realistic goals might be for you.
Some people take getting passed over or pushed out as a sign that they are fundamentally flawed, and withdraw from their peers as a result. That is nuts to me -
everybody gets rejected at some point by the military: even the CJCS gets told to GTFO at some point. Don't withdraw from your support structure, whatever that is, and reach out for help when you need it.
