The Army describes 15U CH-47 Helicopter Repairer /Aircrew Member as the Soldier who maintains and repairs the CH-47 Chinook, the Army's most utilized helicopter, makes sure it is safe and ready to fly, performs and supervises inspections, and completes crewmember duties such as aircraft safety tasks. Civilians call this aircraft maintenance, which is why aircraft mechanics and service technicians, avionics technicians, and maintenance supervisors are among this page's matches.

Copy from your NCOERs or just type what you did as a CH-47 Helicopter Repairer /Aircrew Member Soldier, plus any real numbers.

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Army, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
Travis Loso, founder of DutyToResume
Lead with a civilian job title that fits what you actually did (the matches on this page, like aircraft mechanics and service technicians, are a good place to start), and add a secondary line like 'Military title: CH-47 Helicopter Repairer /Aircrew Member (15U), U.S. Army'.
