Writing my Army-LEO resume. Tips?

josh- are you doing any kind of transition stuff? I remember I had to go to a 2-day transition class before I began clearing (this was at Ft. Drum) where we learned resume writing, interview tactics, and other useful stuff for getting out. They should at least offer that stuff to you.
Good luck!

Yes, I will be going through ACAP Transition University next month, but I was hoping to get this application in for this position ASAP, before the spot is filled. It's a smaller town and openings don't come around too often.

ACAP, thank you, couldn't remember what it was called- I went through it almost 3 years ago... The problem is, they help you along with that pesky "translation from Army lingo to civvie friendly wording." I found that to be the best help they provided with resume writing, among how to structure a resume and all that. But I'm not very good at writing resumes I guess- considering after getting out I was on UI for 9 months.

UI??? Urinary Infection?

UI= Unemployment Insurance. Yes, I collected unemployment for 9 mos after getting out... Veteran's preference my ass. Seems it's pretty common these days... very sad.
