ARMY CAREER & ALUMNI PROGRAM

Verification of Military Experience and Training (VMET) - DD Form 2586

Your military service has given you valuable training and experience that can improve your chance of getting a good job or achieving your educational goals. As a Service member, you have had numerous training and job experiences, perhaps too many to easily recall and include on a job or college application. Fortunately, the military has made life a little easier in this regard. The DD Form 2586, Verification of Military Experience and Training (VMET), is created from a Service member's automated records on file. It lists military job experience and training history, recommended college credit information and civilian equivalent job titles. This document is designed to help you apply for jobs, but it is not a resume.

You can obtain a copy of your VMET document online.  You will need your CAC (Common Access Card), a DS Logon, Level 2 or your DFAS myPay pin number to download your document. While at the site, be sure you also print a copy of VMET Frequently Asked Questions. Once you have your VMET document, you should review it to ensure it is accurate. Then identify the experience and training you believe will help you to convince employers that you're the right person for the job. Because of the personal information they contain, DMDC cannot release VMET documents directly to a third party, such as a school, etc.
