How do you translate Army Signal experience onto a federal résumé? — USAJOBS 5-page format, 25-series verbs, scope & numbers, clearance-as-skill — in Johnnie Pippin's voice.

If you're a Signal / 25-series NCO reading this 12–18 months out from separation, this is the long-form answer to the search query a federal HR reviewer will quietly run on your résumé. Four sections: why a federal résumé is not your military narrative, the three translation moves that map a 25-series record onto GS-grade-equivalent specialized experience, one annotated before-and-after bullet, and the order of operations that puts a 5-page USAJOBS resume back together as GS-grade-equivalent scope — in the federal-language worksheet, on a USAJOBS posting, with clearance, KSA verbs, and scope-statements the screener matches line-by-line.
