JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
Get credit for the work you've done! At some point, all of us will leave the military and make the transition back to the civilian world. But, before you leave the service, make sure your resume is ready to be presented to civilian employers. A free service the Department of Defense provides to help get this done is the Verification of Military Experience and Training, an official document that can be found at www.dmdc.osd.mil/vmet.
The primary purpose of the VMET document is to help you create a resume and complete job applications. In addition, you can elect to show the VMET document to potential employers, employment and government agencies, or to educational institutions. For some skills, the VMET document can provide certification to allow waiver of apprenticeship testing requirements.
The VMET document includes your documented military experience and history with supporting descriptive data. Also included are related civilian occupation data, language proficiency data, and for Marines, off-duty education. Along with the VMET document, use your DD Form 214s, performance and evaluation reports, training certificates, military and civilian transcripts, diplomas, certifications, and other available documentation to achieve the best results in your next career.
