Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between DA Form 348 and the OF 346 permit?
DA Form 348 is the qualification record kept by the unit, documenting the operator's full history. The operator's permit (such as OF 346) is the license the operator carries showing what they are currently authorized to operate. The permit is issued based on the qualifications recorded on the DA Form 348.
What happens to my DA Form 348 when I change units?
The record transfers with you so your qualification history follows you to the new unit. Check with your master driver or licensing section to make sure the record is forwarded or hand-carried per your command's procedure.
