Know what you want to say about it and press on. If you got some additional training or certification during that time, highlight that. Maybe you did volunteer/unpaid work? Mention that too. Also be prepared for the companies who haven&#39;t hired vets and their unfamiliarity with the military...be civilian! No pieces of uniform (ditch those corfams) and make sure both your language and your resume don&#39;t have any military acronyms.
