I have been updating and maintaining my resume for the past 5-6 years. The biggest thing I can input is to demilitarize it as much as possible.
For example instead of
Quote:
|
Assumed role of higher-ranking position after two months in Iraq
|
something along the lines of. I was selected over x number of peers or senior ranking members to assume the position of (blank).
Another example
Quote:
|
Analyzed, planned, and presented over 70 computer-generated target products that resulted in the capture and detainment of numerous insurgents.
|
Break this down further. Talk about each portion individual. 1. Analyzed. 2. Planned. 3. Presented over 70 computer generated target products. 4. Results of this. What did you use to present these? Did you produce these products, if so how? Powerpoint? Try to give them as much detail as possible in their terms.
Quote:

Directly responsible for the logistic preparations, planning and execution of three separate training operations, and one deployment to Iraq.

Again here talk each point. Additionally dollar amounts of equipment you were responsible for.
I am no expert but some of things I have learned along the way while working on my resume. Additionally if you have any friends or relatives in the corporate world get it into their hands. I have been doing this for years and it has helped me with mine.
