Subject: Veterans to receive special OK driver's licenses

so.... where is little oil? LOL

You are either OPEC or you are not.

Little oil is everywhere, especially in OK. Not sure what you're getting at here...

uhhh, to be honest. I have no clue, lost my train of madness.

Thanks for the information... my license comes due again in July of 2013 but I think I'll renew it early and do this.

Looks like another opportunity for fraud and posers to me. We are going to trust tag agency workers to verify the veracity of supplied veterans documentation?

It's easy to create a phony DD214...but now we have given folks a method to 'launder' a fake 214 and convert it into a valid state issued ID that can be used to 'prove' veteran status.

Unnecessary IMHO....(but my view is slanted...I have a retired ID)

I'm just curious (as a non .mil guy) what benefit this has? The only thing I see noted is for it to ease veterans with receiving discounts at places which offer them. Is that it? Or is there something I overlooked?

Bump up

Thanks for the information. My wife used to work with Rita Aragon at OU. This is something I think a lot of Vets in OK will be doing. Another benefit to this I can see is the possibility of getting out of those pesky minor infraction tickets

Wish I could get this for my 6 years in the OKARNG. Though activated shortly after 9/11, we were told to "stand down" after about 45 days prepping to go overseas. Still irks me...

Are there places that actually offer discounts to non-active duty veterans (besides some gun shows?) I know some food places like Schlotzky's give a substantial discount to military in uniform or with Uniformed Services ID card (or spouse).

Why should ex millatry get discounts at a bunch of random places, why should company's get tax breaks for hiring vets over a better qualified non vet? Why should we create a special class of citizen?
