For all the military people out there

the rules on dirvers licencses when youare in the military vary from state to state but i will tell you that even if your state does allow you to drive with an expired license an officer pulling you over most likely won't know the laws and will give you a hard time about it. i had an expired colorado license and even though colorado allows you to go three years after your license expires if you are on active duty out of state i still had to go to court when i was pulled over and showed my expired license and my military ID. just get yourself a license in the state you are stationed in and avoid having to talk you way out of a day in court

A couple of things. First: You can be a state resident of any state you want even if you have never set foot there. (I was an oregon resident and it's one of seven states I have never been to). In order to change your residency you are supposed to own property, carry a DL, or register a vehicle in that state. Technically you are supposed to be planning on retiring in that state, nobody really cares if you do, but that is why the rule is there.
Second, the only you really need to be careful about is "the rule of three". the "three" is DL, vehicle registration, and insurance. At least two of the three must be from the same state, so you couldn't have Alaska registration, Utah insurance, and NCDL. Just something to be careful of. That is all! Hope you are enjoying Hill AFB (I assume)

That is wrong. In Alaska, you MUST prove residency. You have to be here 1 year (within the state 180 days or 270 days, except for work travel) to even become a resident. This is to prevent people from taking advantages of the state's resources (i.e. hunting, PFD, etc).

every state varies... some states don't require you to renew your license while active duty, and others do. Some require you to have a copy of your orders, others only require you to present your military ID. The rules on this all vary about as much as motorcycle laws between states. The best thing to do would be to call the DMV in the state you hold your license. They'll be able to give you the information you're looking for.

I apologize if I reiterate what has been said earlier on in the thread... I didn't feel like reading the whole thing.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
