Notes to tailor
- Replace metrics with your true numbers: aircraft supported, MC rate, hours saved, team size, inspections completed, mission count.
- Translate military terms: use “maintenance logbooks” instead of purely Army acronyms; keep key acronyms in parentheses once.
- Keep it to 1–2 pages; most roles should see the most recent 5–7 years in detail.
- If targeting non-aviation technician roles, emphasize troubleshooting, safety, leadership, and documentation.
