Actually its quite easy to clock that 7000km, depends on where
you were posted. for my case, i was cross-trained, became part-time
driver during the other half of my army life.... the tedious part
was compiling all the bloody paperwork to send to the driving
school, pay 50 bucks, wait a few weeks or if unlucky few months
and.... woohoo! 
One thing i don't get it is that.... let's say someone obtained
military driving licence, drove for more than a year while still
serving... then come out to convert, why still need to put the P
plate again? Especially those who drove the GP car and Land Rover
most of the time.
I got mine converted last October, now still left about 3 months to
tahan that thing blocking my upper left hand side of my windscreen
