Absolutely.

Very true
but it is not enough, you also the need the technical knowledge of the different industries you are approaching and for most of them it can't just be built overnight, it takes time, most likely some university-level education.

I have got a few friends that have a past in the army. One learned IT in the army and now works in the IT field for a multinational company. Another one was in the special assault troop forces and now works for a security / bodyguard company. Another one is a weapons' store manager as he gathered enough knowledge in the army for that purpose. Which "skills" can you resell as a pilot, other than non-technical ones ?
