  • Question
    Can I design my own military vehicles, then tell the DOD?
    Community Answer
    You would need to get a job with a major DOD vehicle manufacture, who regularly contracts with the DOD. It is not something that you can just do on your own unless you are simply making a prototype to try to sell.

    No. The only way you can technically be on active duty, is if you are on terminal leave.
