(a) The applicant holds or is eligible for an Oregon Class C driver license;
(b) The applicant submits a completed Application for Military Skills Test Waiver and that application is approved within one year of qualifying service as a military service member, including the Commanding Officer’s certification of commercial driving experience, showing the applicant meets the conditions for a waiver of skills testing set forth in 49 CFR § 383.77(b); and
(c) DMV determines, based on documentary evidence submitted by the applicant or any military department or agency of the United States Department of Defense that:
(A) The class of CMV operated by the applicant in the military is equivalent to the class of CDL for which the applicant is applying; and
(B) One of the applicant’s primary duties while serving in the military was operation of a CMV and included operation of a CMV on public roadways.
(2) DMV shall issue a CDL skills test waiver to a successful applicant. The CDL skills test waiver is valid for six months from the date of issuance.

(a) “Military service member” means a member of the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, and their associated reserve, and National Guard units; and
(b) “Qualifying service” means an individual who is regularly employed, or was regularly employed within the last year, in a military position requiring operation of a CMV.
