Yes, the military has it's DMV (also included, by popular demand - a puppet show)

Click the above link to watch the Sock Soldier Brigade goes to the SRP video.

Before a National Guard unit can deploy to a combat zone, each individual soldier must go through an intensive medial and administrative evaluation called the Soldier Readiness Program (SRP). At the SRP, each soldier goes through a series of stations manned by Army administrative personnel to ensure that their finances, legal records, medical condition, shots etc. are all up to date. Nearly 100 GI’s begin this process around O-dark thirty, and stand in line at every station until each record is adequately updated. In civilian terms, the SRP is comparable to the DMV; both involve endless waiting lines which often put the sanity of even the most mentally stable person to the test."
