This is an expression used on the Island which is short and assumed to mean ....."Only On Guam".
There are many of these things about apparently getting your license to drive a 15 passenger Van is one of them.
Before you can drive a 15 passenger van, you need to get a Chauffer class added to your license. You have to study for and take a written test. Although it took a week and a half to get a scheduled test. Afterward it took them a week to post results from a test which used computerized forms.
On Friday we got to the DMV. A licensed driver must take you and before you get your license they ask you a bunch of questions. I stood in line for about 30 minutes. He processed my update to a Chauffer license. Then he informed me that I needed a letter from my company stating that I was to drive their van. So we jumped back in the van - got the letter - and back to the DMV.
Again I had to wait another 30 minutes. I got to the counter with my letter and a receipt that I paid to have my license updated. I did not actually sit for the picture because I they would have to change it anyway to an Mini-Bus Operator. The man told me that I needed to actually get my other licesnse and he would not give me the approval because both Peter (who is the only Van driver right now at the school) and I did not have the little cards for our wallets. Even though Peter's license was only a couple months old and he had to have a valid medical card to get it..... AND I had a completely seperate form they require with detail that the doctor signed.
Since it was late on Friday..... I now have to wait until Monday. Sheesh.
I stood in line another 30 minutes.

Maybe it would be a good idea to write all of the steps down that you've had to go through & keep it filed somewhere for the next person(s) who may need to go through the process. ???
In Hawaii we called it Island Time. When my kids live like that here they call it WHATEVER!
