Lakeisha, go to APUS.EDU and get a degree in a security field. This school is super military friendly, better than any other college I studied with. Once a student, you can get access to a job website the school sponsors called simplicity.com/students. Excellent source to find a job on any desired security field. One other advice: Once you get a degree, get a certification to encompass your degree, to make you a stronger candidate.
Hope this helps
