You don't sound smart enough to get a tank MOS. You do know you can't pick what you do right?

Becky C

Not sure if you're asking if you need a driver's license to drive a tank. In case you are, look at it this way: Even if you had a driver's license, you would not be qualified to drive a tank. Once you have done the training and you are qualified, then that's your license to operate the tank. One license has nothing to do with the other.
