Ok guys, the job I'm looking to xfer to is in the same company, with a tripling in salary b/c it's offshore. I'll be an Electronics tech on an oil rig, basically taking care of everything, so I tried to tailor it to show that I learn quickly and have proven that. They also want someone to calibrate their gas detectors, which is why I harp on my instructor duty so much..... let me know what you think. I've xxxed out some of the locations/companies for privacy's sake, and the formatting looks perfect on the resume, but not here.
I know it's long, but I have my foot in the door already with HR so they are interested. Gets harder and harder to make these things short these days! I will also supplement with my awards and military transcript, along with my certs. Thanks for the input!

take the references upon request off of the list. Also I would have to look at it how it looks on paper.
What Barracks where you in. I stayed in the old 600's in 99 and them moved into the 800's as they were being finished. I wanted to be a ET, but I was just into being a tomahawk tech so much, so I chose FC strand.
You remember FC1 Smiley and FC1 Raster -

References are going along anyway, along with my SMART. I was in 631 for Tech core, and one of the 800s (can't remember which) for A school. Smiley and Raster, how could I forget, especially Raster, he looked like a cartoon.

Looks pretty good. I was also a Navy ET/DS and worked internationally at an ET on a drilling rig. Great money and lots of time off. I just didn't like spending half my life offshore.

I wanted to be a DS really badly, but they had just started phasing it into ET when I joined..... so I'm sure that you're familiar with my JTIDS NEC? That's an old DS school. -

Well I've been out since 99 so I don't remember all the acronyms. I had a system called JOTS that was supposedly pretty cutting edge at the time. But that is about all I really worked on that was really computerized. I was a display tech working on OJ-194's and the OJ-197 console.
I was kind of an oddball in that I started out as a nuke ET and was force converted to DS after washing out of nuclear power school. Then before I got out DS was going away and I became a FC. So I was actually all three within a 5 year enlistment!
There are a lot of ex Navy ET's working as offshore ET's in the oil industry. Where would you be working? -

Bet that was interesting, getting the perspective of all 3 of the best rates in the Navy! I'd be working off the coast of Russia. Put my resume in w/ HR today, we'll see how it goes!
