Go to Downloads, then Job Search and get the Civilian cover letter and civilian resume (might be on page 2).
The CV should be one page, and should not be used for talking yourself up. Just the facts. The selling part is for the interview and your references/previous bosses, when essentially they have given you the job on paper and are giving you the opportunity to talk yourself out of it :P
The cover letter example needs very little tweaking, just make sure if you're sending lots out that the right ones go to the right outfits, otherwise it gets embarrassing rapidly.
That's all I did with mine, and never had any issues. The only other thing to consider is a photo as some HR people like to put names to faces. Don't do what I did with my first one and stick a typical prop shot of yourself infront of a 152 on a sunny day wearing sunnies - it should be head and shoulders, professional looking but no sunglasses!
Hope this helps, and good hunting
