Fictional translation example
Put your experience into civilian language
Think of this as a translation, not a script. This fictional example keeps the same work facts while replacing military jargon with clear civilian wording.
Before
Fictional example: In my Diagnostic Imaging Apprentice assignment, I [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
After
Fictional example: Supported [civilian work area] by [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
Why this wording is fair
Position imaging equipment and adjust controls to set exposure time and distance, according to specification of examination.
Position patient on examining table and set up and adjust equipment to obtain optimum view of specific body area as requested by physician.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
