I know about this. When I was in the military, I drove in the army motor pool. Indeed, the military driver's license test can be postponed, considering soldiers may have missions at any time. My squad leader once encountered this situation—during training, he had to take the test, so he submitted a report, and the logistics department postponed his driver's license test for six months. You need your unit to issue a certificate explaining the mission circumstances and stamp it with an official seal. Take this certificate to the local vehicle management office to complete the procedures. Remember to apply in advance—don’t wait until the test day. However, this doesn’t apply after discharge; it’s only for active-duty soldiers. During the postponement period, the results of previously passed test sections remain valid. After the mission ends, you can resume the test—it’s quite considerate.
