Accessing VMET Documents - Overview

Select DoD Transition Assistance Program (DoDTAP), VMET

Your VMET document helps you prepare resumes and job applications when you separate from Service.

The VMET document DD-2586:

• Gathers all reported demographic, training, and experience records in one (1) place.
• Describes your Service occupations in civilian terms.

Automated systems at each Branch of Service report occupation information to the VMET database. These systems vary, so the information presented might not match your expectations.

You can use your VMET, along with evaluation reports, training certificates, awards, transcripts, and similar documents to assemble a complete account of how you qualify for civilian occupations, certificates, licenses, or programs of study.

Use the VMET tab to view, save, and print your VMET documents in PDF format.

• The VMET document (DD-2586) contains detailed descriptions of civilian equivalent job skills and training that you acquired while in the military.
• The Cover Letter provides general information about the VMET document to include with your own information.

To view, save, and print VMET documents:

1. Choose the VMET document (DD-2586) or Cover Letter option.
2. Click Submit.
3. Depending on your browser, a method is provided for you to open or save the PDF.
