Would like to see accomplishments or innovations in your current assignment. I understand it's only been about 6 months, but you should have done something other than show up for work in that time. Other resume items look good.

I see Sections 4, 5 & 6 from your USAREC 3.2, but not Section 7 (Summary / Resume). Did you mean to follow up with that in another post?

What you've written so far looks good to me. You covered all the basics: your duties, responsibilities, what you accomplished and what you learned. However, Section 7 should be personal as you're explaining to a board why you deserve to be an Aviator. Don't be afraid to talk about yourself and why you believe you are qualified.
