LOL!!! Not really. Honestly, I didn't have a state driver's license when I joined. When I arrived at my first duty station, I was issued a card that said I could drive a whole bunch of vehicles I didn't even know what the nomenclatures stood for. It was all OJT.
I remember one day when they asked if I was licensed to drive the duece and a half. I said it was on my license, but that I never driven one, much less that I didn't know how to drive stick. They told me to get in the driver's seat and that it would be easy. LOL!! Yeah...right...

Let's just say that I never drove one of those suckers again -- except in the field, wide open desert, no buildings, no civilian traffic, no fire hydrants.

Ah yes...the good 'ol days. I could drive the hell out of the M551's and Hummers. No accidents, no rollovers during all the chases and the rugged terrain I drove on -- most of it driving at night. Under 10% illumination was the worst.
