If for some reason a
member cannot obtain a CAC, or a DS Logon, please see
information below about contacting your Military Service’s transition
assistance program:
Army: In order for Soldiers to get their VMET document, they must have a DS Login account or use a current Common Access Card (CAC). The alternate method is to obtain a DSlogon from DMDC as described above. DOD Guidance prevents the Army from acting as an intermediary to obtain the VMET documents.
Navy: Personnel who are not
able to obtain a DS Logon may visit or contact any Navy
Fleet and Family Support Center. Upon authentication of identity and
eligibility, a VMET document can be produced. For personnel who are not located
within close proximity of a Navy Fleet and Family Support Center, contact our
program support staff at (202) 433-3780. The VMET document is for the personal
use of the military service member; therefore we will not respond to any second
party requests for VMETs. VMETS will not be provided to anyone other than the
military service member; they will not be mailed to colleges, universities, or
prospective employers. You can locate our Fleet and Family Support Centers by
visiting www.ffsp.navy.mil and click on "FFSC Locations."
Air Force: Separated members who are
not able to obtain a DS Logon must use the
following instructions to obtain a VMET through the Air Force Personnel Center
(AFPC): the member must fax a signed request, along with a copy of the member's
DD Form 214. The signed request MUST include an e-mail address (preferred) or
mailing address. The VMET document will be securely e-mailed or postal mailed
to the member. The VMET document is for the personal use of the member
only. Therefore AFPC will not
respond to any second party requests for VMETs; they will not be mailed to
colleges, universities, or prospective employers. Fax the VMET request and DD
Form 214 to AFPC/DPSIA, Attn: VMET Program Manager using FAX phone numbers DSN:
665-3385 or Commercial: 210-565-3385.
Marine Corps: Separated members who are not able
