What the official crosswalk says
The Department of Defense and the Department of Labor maintain a crosswalk from every military occupation to the civilian occupational system (O*NET). For Marine Corps 0811 — Field Artillery Cannoneer — it maps to:
- Artillery and Missile Crew Members (SOC 55-3014.00)
Say it in civilian
On a resume or in an interview, don't lead with "0811" — civilian screeners don't know the code. Lead with the work: "Field Artillery Cannoneer" maps to Artillery and Missile Crew Members in the Department of Labor's system. Describe the job in those terms, then back it with specifics only you can supply.
Putting it on a resume
- Civilian title first, the code in parentheses: "Artillery and Missile Crew Members (Marine Corps 0811)" reads; the reverse gets skipped.
- Quantify with real numbers you can back up in an interview — people led, equipment value, tempo. Real numbers you can defend beat impressive ones you can't.
- Strip the acronyms. If your spouse's friends wouldn't know the term, the recruiter won't either.
- Keep it unclassified — describe your work the way you would in a public job interview.
The free Skill Translator does this for any MOS, AFSC, or rating — job titles, transferable skills, and resume bullets, from the same official crosswalk. Nothing you type is stored.
