Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post it but if it's not feel free to move it.
I got in the army in 2005 at 24years old and I pass my DND404 (on a LSVW) about 6 month after i finish basic, at that time I didn't have a civilian driver license and had really little driving experience and even after getting my 404 I didn't drive any vehicle either military or civ. (Even I was surprise I manage to pass it with so little experience)
In summer 2007 I finally got my Civ License and buy my first car, after that I switched trade for MSE Op, I didn't pass my course at first (failed on the 3 tonnes Sterling last driving test) but did manage to pass it the second time around and was finally QL3 qualify by the end of 2008 (took over a year of waiting between the 2 courses).
Unfortunately the base I was posted to made me do really little driving and my primary job was mostly to inspect and wash vehicles that where coming back, I estimate that over the years I was there I have driving less then 1000km with military vehicles!
Then in 2009, an officer that I drove to the airport put a complain again me about my driving, after that they decided to do remedial trainings to see what was wrong with my driving. They found that I had a few problems like difficulties to anticipate traffics, signal too soon or too late and a few thing in that order. After that they decided to suspend my DND404 saying that i was a "risk" and even after i fight for over a year they still force me change occupation.
Now it's been over 2 years since my 404 was supended and I'm still fighting to get my trade back, I have drove my car for 4years and over 80k km now and never got into any accident, never got arrested, never lose points, never got tickets not even a parking ticket! While I don't believe I'm THE perfect driver, I believe I'm no longer a big "risk" as I used to be and I'm wondering if they can still keep my 404 suspended and if I can get it back (would most likely have to redo a driving test) which hopefully would help me get back my trade.
I found this site http://www.admfincs.forces.gc.ca/cfa-oaf/019-14-eng.asp which apply to people who have either lose there civ license or got into accident, but I'm not sure if it would apply to my case. From what I understand It said that only the 3rd suspension should be permanent, is it normal for me to have mine suspended indefinitely even if it's only my first suspension???
