I do have some sort of evidence to prove I've been a licensed driver for nearly 3 years now, however the reg still confuses me whether I'm eligible for the badge. Anyone received one previously or have any input?How do I determine if I am eligible for a driver's badge?2020-03-30T14:07:03-04:00SGT Derick J.5720001<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Recently went through a Maintenance class and was informed that I could be eligible for a driver's badge, however I didn't know I had to track every milage and man labor hour I've done while operating a vehicle.
