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 Surface Reactor Controls Manager 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
Design or develop nuclear equipment, such as reactor cores, radiation shielding, or associated instrumentation or control mechanisms.
Test faulty equipment to diagnose malfunctions, using test equipment or software, and applying knowledge of the functional operation of electronic units and systems.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
