The majority of the course is taken up doing rolls
Breakfast rolls
more breakfast rolls
and all day breakfast rolls
you do drive from one location to another
namely breakfast roll shops
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
No chance! you could be an Artic driver on your civvi license, but if you don't have the AF154 (Army Driving Permit) you can't go near the wheel of an Army vehicle.
The driving course leads to both Civilian and Army licenses, and for that reason it is a course that people would sell their mother to get. Unfortunately courses are not run continuously, and are often given to the chosen few as reward for asses well kissed

we also use 'Military Driving Permits' (FMT600) but every soldier is trained to drive and put on civvie driving lessons to pass their civvie test, then they get the appropriate permit for each military vehicle they encounter upon completing the relative conversion / familiarisation.
Our lot are the same, the Army driving course has nothing to do with civvie street and nothing transfers over either way. YOu could drive lorries all day in civvie street and have to be re-trained agian if you drive lorries for the Army. Given that most Americans leave to drive about age 16, a driving license for a car here is a moot point.
OK S&S, since you have some form of driving licence you should be on the Mod 2A Driving course.

RGJ - your comment was made well before anyone clarified who gets army licences. I'm curious as to where you were going with it. Yet another "in the BA we do it this way" I suspect.
