Where can I find military job positions explained in civilian terms?

I'm exploring military careers but get confused by the jargon. Is there any resource that translates military job positions into civilian terms, so it's easier to understand what each role entails? That would really help me make a more informed decision.

One resource you may find useful is the Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This resource provides detailed descriptions and data for the majority of civilian occupations and translates these into terms that are understandable to those familiar with military jargon. There's a section where they relate military careers to civilian ones.

Another option is the Military to Civilian Occupation Translator provided by the Department of Labor. You input your military occupational code (MOC) and it will describe the civilian roles that align with your military job and the skills you might gain. It's a good starting point for understanding how your potential military role may translate to civilian jobs in the future.

Apart from these, websites like ONET Online have helpful tools that allow you to insert a military occupation code and see equivalent civilian jobs as well. Lastly, there's a book called "Military-to-Civilian Career Transition Guide" by Janet I. Farley, which walks military members through translating their service experiences into civilian terminology.

All of these resources should really help in understanding what each military role entails in civilian terms, and no doubt, will be excellent guides as you embark on a military career.
