What is the process for Reservists getting a HMMWV license?

Greetings RP, it's your favorite full of question SPC. I volunteered for the Advon range prep team for this BA, and we need one operator for the humvee (but have none at the moment, we're an HR company). I want to obtain the license if possible, since I've heard vague info about it being a form and an online class. I would be appreciative if anyone could point me in the right direction.

The same process for active duty and the National guard. You need to go through drivers training. Do a road test. Have a commanders interview. Be registered in the computer system ( the system name escapes me.) Then have a license issued to you by your units master driver.

Your company should have a Master Driver. If it doesn't, check with your Maintenance Section/Company or one of the other Companies that have Humvee's. Someone will have a Master Driver to test you.

at Army driving school in '81 at Ft Bragg after completing qualification on the M151, and the M35, I said to my instructor: "there may be a problem, I don't know how to drive an automatic" - He shouted "OH, Come Now!" - later I told my friends what I said and half of them responded with their heads in their hands " Oh, Johnny, How could you?' and the other half responded "That's Brilliant!, I should have done that!"

I've been retired for a few years now, so my information may be dated. But as a prolific driver trainer and examiner- Your unit would have to have a need for you to be licensed, they will conduct the training/testing (this may be most easily accomplished during A.T. and on the Battalion level).
Good luck and remember to turn your lights on.
