What can exempt you from NVD driving refresher training?

Being engaged in a mission while using NVDs (Night Vision Devices) can exempt an individual from the refresher training requirement because it demonstrates that the individual is actively utilizing their skills in a real-world context. This hands-on experience in operational settings ensures that the driver retains the necessary competencies required for safe NVD operation. The focus of the exemption is on current, practical application of the training in the field, which reinforces their ability to effectively use NVD technologies under operational conditions.

In contrast, options like being a new driver, attending a seminar, or simply having a valid license do not entail the same level of practical, applicable experience with NVDs. New drivers may lack the requisite exposure, attending a seminar might not provide hands-on practice, and having a valid license does not equate to competence in the specific use of NVDs during driving scenarios. Hence, the active involvement in a mission while utilizing NVDs is a valid rationale for exemption from refresher training.
