Career Service Vitae

The Career Service Vitae (or CSV for short) is a log kept on each soldier in the UNSC, similar to a civilian Resume. Every member of the UNSC armed forces has one, as it keeps track of that person's entire military service.

Some of the things a CSV contains include;


 * Service Number
 * Date the person joined the military
 * Background information on the person
 * Battles the person has taken part in.
 * Unit or starship assignments
 * Promotions, transfers, and retirements
 * Decorations the person has recieved
 * Time, place, and cause of death

While not common in today's language the term is espically popular in futuristic military settings and is seen in the Halo and Starcraft Universes.
