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 NAMTS Watertight Closure Maintenance Technician 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
Wind large springs with upward motion of arm.
Dismantle machines and remove parts for repair, using hand tools, chain falls, jacks, cranes, or hoists.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
