Joshua, thank you for your service. Your comments suggest indecision on what you would like to do after leaving the service mentioning "starting my own small business" and requesting help with a resume. Plus you also mention a term "acaping" that escapes me?

Here are homework suggestions that may help you.
(1) Other veterans have found these free/low cost self-assessment tools helpful in clarifying their strengths and interests
Book: "What Color Is Your Parachute? 2013: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers"

https://www.mbticomplete.com/en/index.aspx Site allows taking the Myers Briggs assessment tool for $50. Wikipedia has good description of that tool and the insights the results can provide.
