Just curious - can she get a Military drivers license as a dependent?

Terri, Can Courtney get longer hours??? That way it won't be quite so bad...
I wouldn't bother with the license...Wouldn't give the crooks a penny extra. She can get her license when you get to your next base.
By the way, squishy is in the mail!!!

Sounds like Washington state laws for driving! Thankfully the laws changed after I got my license, which I got 10 years ago at the age of 16, so the drive class which was required was only $200 (offered after school at the high school) and then I could go get my license and drive all i wanted. Now...you have to take a class to get your license if you are under the age of 18. The class cost averages about $600, not offered at most schools. You have to clock in something like 50-80 hours of driving time with your parents. Then you can go take the written (which you pay for), then you can take the drive test (which you pay for) if you pass the written test. Then if you pass both test you can get your license (which you pay for). Then the driver is on a special license for six months. During this time they can not drive with anyone else in the car with them unless it is a parent, or a sibling. No friends allowed. After the six month period then they are allowed to drive freely.
I would have been a sitting duck if I had to pay $600 for a drive class!! Heck that is almost as much as I paid for my first car.

Military Drivers licenses are actually just a piece of paper that says you can drive a military vehicle. They don't really issue them anymore. Plus, they are ONLY for Active Duty Military. And...you need a civilian license to go with it.

SQUISHY? WOOHOO!
Leona, that's pretty much the way the laws are in Hawaii. I don't mind them doing that, but to make them drive for almost a year WITH someone? REDICULOUS!!!!
I don't have MY moped anymore. I sold it when we got here. :(
It's not really the money aspect that P's me off. It's the TIME that it takes from start to finish. I can understand for maybe 30 days that they cannot drive alone after "first" license, but come on....A first time driver at the age of 30 has to go thru the SAME thing? It just DOES NOT make sense!
If we were in Japan, she could have her license in 30 days and it would be an International License and could swap it to a stateside one when returning. UGH!!
