What makes a good LinkedIn headline for veterans?

A strong veteran headline translates your military role into civilian value and names the field you’re targeting — not "Transitioning Veteran seeking opportunities." Lead with what you do (e.g., "Cybersecurity Analyst | 8 years leading network-defense operations | TS/SCI") in civilian-legible terms.
