You cannot be an officer or employee of the United States Government – this includes the US military and the United States Post Office, however, military reserves can hold a license. You will have three years after you take and pass the test to apply for the license. For example: You are 20 years old and not a citizen of the United States, but you know that you will be getting your citizenship within three years, so you sit for the test.
