Resume Review - Transitioning from the military

I posted an intro in the proper forum and as mentioned am looking at transitioning from the military. So my resume may not look like the typical finance related one but if there are any major issues please let me know. Also, if there are any military personnel who have made the leap it would be appreciated. Blackhat and the other gurus if you have a second as well. BH, I would be curious to see your brothers resume if you wouldn't mind having him post it/PM since he's military as well.

Your military experience is definitely very impressive. I would just make a few tweaks to signal a more financial flair. While you were in Afghanistan, did you learn any local dialects or do you have any knowledge of other languages, that could be valuable. I think I would change "Activities: Chess Club, Club Tennis Team" to "Activities: XXXX Chess Club-XXX Years-W/L, XXXX Club Tennis Team-XXX Years-W/L". Your interests are a bit redundant. I would make it as follows:

Interests: Active Managment of Portfolio utilizing Value Investing Techniques-XXX Years Per Annum Return: X% | YTD Return: X% | α: X | β: X
