How BMR started
Built from ten years on the hiring side.
Brad Tachi got out of the Navy and spent the next ten years figuring out how civilian hiring really works, across five careers in the private sector and federal service.
Along the way he started mentoring service members one on one as they got ready to get out. It worked. But one person can only sit down with so many people, so over three years ago he built Best Military Resume to give every veteran that same help, at scale.
Since then BMR has helped 24,538 veterans and military spouses.

Do I have to type my military experience in?
No. Upload your existing resume, or upload your evaluations and let those become the resume. NCOER, OER, FITREP, EPR and OPR forms are recognised across all six branches, including binder PDFs that hold years of evals in one file, and if you select every eval at once they merge into one base resume. Reading a document takes about 30 to 60 seconds, then you confirm what it read one section at a time. Typing everything by hand is the third option, for people with no document to hand.
Do I have to tailor the resume myself?
No. You pick the job and the system rewrites your summary, your work experience, and your skills against that posting, in the words the posting uses, in one click. You read what it wrote, keep what is right, and change what is not. There is no exercise where you hold two documents side by side and work out which of your bullets to edit.
Is the military resume builder really free?
Yes. You start free. Build your base resume and get 2 tailored resumes, 2 cover letters, LinkedIn profile optimization, elevator pitches, an email signature, 2 company research reports, an “Open to Work” post generator, and a job tracker without paying anything up front. You only pay if you want more.
Does it work for all military branches?
Yes. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. It knows ranks, MOS, AFSC, NEC, and rating codes, common duties, and how to translate them for civilian employers.
How long does it take to build a resume?
Most people finish a first resume in 10 to 15 minutes. Uploading and confirming your base resume is the longest part, and even that is confirming what the builder already read out of your document rather than writing from scratch. Once the base resume exists, tailoring it to a new posting is one click and a couple of minutes of review.
