I can't stress enough the importance of tailoring a resume or a cover letter for the specific job that is being sought. Hiring managers have a very specific type of candidate that they are looking for to fill open positions. The better a veteran can overtly demonstrate that they are the right fit for the opening the quicker the veteran will receive the desired job offer. Again, translating "military speak" into civilian terms is not only a "nice to have" in a resume but is imperative to break into the civilian ranks.
