In my never ending quest here, it seems that I get conflicting info, so I will just look at the paperwork myself and make a determination. After a lot of web search and VA DMV law reading, it seems that the SF-97 is not really a "title" in VA's eyes. But, they still want something in the owners' name before they will issue a title. I'd think the BOS would work, but then everytime I call VA's DMV in Richmond, I get a different person, and as soon as you say military vehicle, they get kinda quiet and then change their helpful attitude.
As I see it, since the current owner has the EUC and SF-97 in his posession, and he bought the truck directly from GL (I believe) this shouldn't be any more trouble than him getting a title then transferring it to me, which is what we will most likely do. IF I can eliminate more paperwork and expense, though, that would be great.
I keep thinking this would be easier just to get a title company to circumvent all this and have a title in a few weeks. Did it with my M715 and had the paperwork in my name in 1.5 weeks.
