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 Aids to Navigation 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
Inspect, test, and measure completed work, using devices such as hand tools or gauges to verify conformance to standards or repair requirements.
Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
