Thanks!

Job title: words. Job title: words.

Lather rinse repeat.

Every job has meaning. You're joining corporate America. That disassociated tour, IA, whatever was a leadership roll of XXX sailors, responsible for $xyz millions of dollars, supervising, leading, mentoring, etc etc etc. The pilot at your interview wants to know if he/she can share a cockpit with you and whether you can fly. The HR rep wants to know that you're well rounded, can play well with others, and will represent the brand. Everything you've done has value to someone. Your challenge is to articulate it using plain language to someone that doesn't speak military lingo.

Listing every OPR is stupid and will clutter your app/resume. It needs to fit on one page, and be short enough to not be a chore to read and long enough to tell your story.
