Jamal,
First thing you need to do is start researching the career and seek a mentor. I think you will find that entry level into the field will require and Bachelor degree and for sit down counseling a Masters. You will only discover the requirements via research, and that may be accomplished by going on any job board and pulling down positions that have the titles you are interested in and take a serious look into the qualifications required.
Informational Interviews are another great way to find out about the career, but make sure you conduct these correctly so you will also build a semi-network from your interviews.
HireMilitary has a great information piece on "how to conduct informational interviews".
I agree with the previous comment, do not quit your day job, as it may take sometime and money to obtain the education to start the credential building-an it may take non paid or very low paying internship to get into the field. Without that inflow of cash you may have to drop our and restart if cash becomes short.
Thanks for your service.
Depending upon where you are and what degree is required, make sure you check out in the interviewing or with the mentor what universities are the "right" ones. A degree from an online university in an area that has a university with a great reputation for behavior health, counseling etc. will add to the portfolio.
