Drivers license

Did I read somewhere that midshipmen are required to have a driver's license?

I don't know if you read it somewhere, but it is not a requirement.

I don't see why you wouldn't. Sometimes the mids drive vans, the EMTs drive the ambulance, etc. not a requirement, but being a college student (adult) entails getting your drivers license.

Just trying to get into the DMV right now is tough. He got an appointment about a week before I day.

Not every family can afford to pay for Drivers Ed. In our state Drivers Ed. is required for a license under age 18 and it is no longer offered through the schools. (Some Plebe Candidates are still under 18 when they report for INDOC.) Private Drivers Ed. costs about $700-$800.

I could see it for a valid form of ID, but the Logging In book expressly only mentions Passport and TWIC - not drivers license and that would be the definitive guide/requirements definition.

One could get a state ID at DMV (regardless of age I think) to solve the problem of cashing those pesky checks and always using your passport (soon) to fly domestically.

You will need ID for many occasions in your midshipman career. The most common form used is your drivers license.

Not to be contrary, but a state issued Identification Card will honestly work just as well. A driver's license is not required.
