• Taxable Income:– Base Pay– COLA (Cost of Living Allowance)– Bonuses (e.g., Aviation Continuation Pay)– Special Pay (e.g., Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay) – Other Allowances (see Addendum C)
• Tax Exempt Income: A general guideline for translating Military Pay to private sector compensations is to add a factor of 30 - 40% of base pay to the servicemember’s base pay to take into account Tax Exempt income and Allowances, which may include:– BAH( Basic Allowance for Housing) – BAS ( Basic allowance for Subsistence)

Understanding Military Experience
#BLOGGING4JOBS
RESUME CRITIQUE FOR MILITARY CANDIDATES
• Officer or Enlisted• Overall Considerations:
– Prior private sector employment– Highest rank in the military – as a reference point for level of
education, performance or testing– Job functions performed– Leadership experience – can start at the E-5 rank and
above– Language skills– Voluntary roles that require specialized training (Special
Warfare, Submariners, etc.)• Resumes from Military candidates may not be well
constructed –not all candidates have received resume and interviewing training and they may include a lot of military jargon. Often they follow the “Federal Resume” format.
