Resume Thoughts

Just looking to get some thoughts on my resume from some industry professionals who've been in the field longer than me. I've got about six years in the Telecom/IT field, and the problem I'm facing is as I gain more experience I'm finding it harder and harder to cram everything into two pages.
But other than that, any opinions and constructive criticism towards my resume would be greatly appreciated.

As a Telecommunications Specialist I design, install, configure, operate and maintain a wide degree of IT networks over various mediums of transmissions, such as Line of Sight (LOS), troposphere scatter systems, cable systems, and numerous SHF satellite terminals. With experience gained in providing critical communications in high stress environments for the Joint Special Operations community I evaluate proposed systems to be integrated or converted so they work within current or proposed architecture and provide alternatives, costs, training concerns, and recommendations for conversion and/or integration. As a customer orientated network technician, I minimize customer impact by unplanned outages utilizing an extensive background in network troubleshooting that allow me to quickly and efficiently detect, analyze, communicate recommendations, and resolve complex system and user end problems.

I don't think that it is necessary to have your clearance on there twice.
