Also examine this mapped civilian task: Write reports or case summaries to document investigations. Keep it only if your own service evidence supports it.
Capture scope or outcomes only when your own records support them.

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 Marine Investigations 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
Check victims for signs of life, such as breathing and pulse.
Write reports or case summaries to document investigations.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
