Your Transition Arsenal.
Field-tested tools to make the crossing from service to civilian. Start with a live military-to-civilian career translator covering roles across all five branches, plus a best-practice resume guide. No paywall. No resume mills. Just the brief.
Find your civilian career path
Type your MOS, rate, or military job title. We'll translate your experience into civilian career equivalents, the skills that carry over, salary ranges, and the certifications that get you there.
The veteran resume: translate, don't transcribe
A civilian hiring manager has six seconds and zero military background. Your job isn't to list what you did. It's to translate it into outcomes they recognize and value. Here's the standard we coach.
Lead With the Civilian Title
Open each role with the closest civilian equivalent, then your real billet in parentheses. "Operations Manager (Platoon Sergeant)" tells the reader exactly how to slot you in one line.
Quantify Everything
Numbers are the universal language. Led how many people? Managed what budget or equipment value? Cut time or error by what percent? Hard figures beat adjectives every time.
Kill the Acronyms
If a civilian wouldn't know it, translate or cut it. "NCOIC of a 40-person section" becomes "Supervised a 40-person department." Save the jargon for the interview, if ever.
"11B Infantry Team Leader. Conducted dismounted patrols and led fire team in tactical operations. NCOIC of weapons maintenance. MOS-qualified, completed PLDC."
"Operations Team Leader (Infantry). Led a 4-person team through 60+ high-pressure missions with zero safety incidents. Owned maintenance and accountability for $1.2M of equipment. Completed accredited leadership development program."
