    Thats what i was thinkin but the resume i did in TAPS has nothing about my deployments on there.... i would think they would have told us to include them then since they know what the hell they are doing....

    You could always give them a call and get their advice. Im sure they have a bit more insight on the job market than I do.

    I was not in the service but as an interviewer, I absolutely would appreciate it on a resume. I think it says a lot about a person.

    I would only put it in if your going to list it in your job history section where you will actually talk about your job title, duties and responsibilities.
