   Darn, it’s been a looooooong time since I’ve been in the military. When I was in, your drivers license was good anyplace and it did not have to be renewed.

   Things amy have changed since then.

   Straight form the drivers handbook – your license is good until it expires or you act like a California resident. ->

   Nonresident Military Personnel
   If you are 18 years of age or older,
   see the rules for “New Residents”
   and “Adults Visiting California.”
   Licenseeseligible for military extensions
   should carry documentation
   from their home state to verify their
   status to local law enforcement.

   New Residents
   When you become a resident
   and you want to drive in
   California, you must apply for
   a California driver license within
   10 days.
   Residency is established by: voting
   in California elections; paying resident
   tuition at a California college or
   university; filing for a home owner’s
   property tax exemption; obtaining
   a license; or receiving any other
   privilege or benefit not ordinarily
   extended to nonresidents.

   Adults Visiting California
   Visitors over 18 years old with
   a valid driver license from their
   home state or country may drive in
   California without getting a driver
   license as long as their home state
   license remains valid.

   Your license is valid.
   Military installations now have their own rules above and beyond State’s requirements.
   Helmet, gloves, reflective vest…….
   I’m sure someone on base can fill you in.
   Or, you can post this in “Military”.
   I don’t know the current rules – they didn’t exist back when.

   Yes, any US state license is usable in any state that you are not a resident of.
