Certification
- For the occupation of Small Arms Repairman Members, which is primarily military in nature, there are no conventional professional certifications, licenses, registrations, or memberships commonly sought after by employers in the civilian sector as these roles are specific to the armed forces. Training and qualifications for these positions are typically provided internally by the respective military branch (e.g., Marine Corps, Navy). Therefore, listing up to 30 professional credentials as requested does not apply to this specific occupation. However, veterans may pursue various certifications upon transitioning to civilian careers depending on their field of interest.
- I am certified as a Marine Security Guard by the Department of State and the Marine Corps.
