I would avoid an overly detailed explanation of what your military career has entailed. Perhaps high points could be mentioned in bullet format after a brief explanation of your overall career. I think the airlines want to see a well rounded person and putting too much emphasis on a glorious military career would not be to your advantage. Be sure and mention your family, civic involvement (soccer coach) and other aspects of yourself that would show you were qualified, but not all wrapped up in one particular facet of your life.
Good luck with the transition!
