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 Outboard Engine Maintenance Technician assignment, I [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
After

Why this wording is fair
Start motors and monitor performance for signs of malfunctioning, such as smoke, excessive vibration, or misfiring.
Document inspection and test results and work performed or to be performed.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
