Where to, Sir?

In these days when the Pentagon and its allies are going around the country pleading that our defense budget and its jobs cannot be cut or catastrophe will ensue, the Army has just issued a request that its chauffeurs be supplied with new uniforms.  That's right, its chauffeurs.  They are needed to ferry around the Senior Executive Staffs of the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Under Secretaries of Army and Air Force, Vice Chiefs of Staff Army and Air Force, Assistant Secretaries, and other Principal Officials of Headquarters Department of Defense (DoD).  The uniform consists of everything except underwear, shoes and a cap.  The chauffeur corps is not sexist; 8% of them are women.

This bid is by the Army only.  Do the other branches also have chauffeurs?
