I'm seeking some advice on how to list my US Navy experience on a resume. I was in for 7 and a half years and served at three bases. Should I list my experience as one block of employment or would it be better to break it up by location? Or is there perhaps some other way I'm not seeing?
The other issue I'm having is what to put for my job title during my time. I had multiple job titles over the course of my service, but the last one (work center supervisor) is the most relevant despite my only having it for the last 2 years of service. Assuming I list my experience as 1 job, would it be right to use that title when describing my military time?
Thanks in advance for any insight on this.

Break it up by job title. It makes military experience take up more of the page and you really want to highlight that as most employers correlate "military service" with "ability to not fuck shit up".
Also, avoid acronyms. You may be very proud of your time "Supervising the MPSD distribution of LOLZMV in a MSKAJKSJS environment, but I have no idea what the fuck that means.
