I'm stationed in Florida, and I've helped 8 of my active duty coworkers get their CCW. Your military CAC will suffice as proof of "handgun safety training." None of those individuals needed any proof other than their CAC. Depending on where you are going to in Florida, there may be a Department of Agriculture office nearby, you will just have to look it up.
If you can, try to set up a "Fast Track" appointment. Instead of sending in a paper packet in the mail, you do everything (including fingerprints and photo) on site. It gets notarized right there and is submitted digitally, costs the same $112 as if you had sent in the packet, and it only takes about 10-20 minutes. You have to book the appointment over the phone, and it can be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks away. Once you package is submitted, it can take up to 90 days to get your card in the mail, but is usually much less. 2 of those 8 I helped got their appointment set up in 10 days, and received their license less than 2 weeks later.

Do you happen to know, regarding the military order to prove training, what they look for? I'll be there on temporary duty orders; would showing that to them suffice?
Thanks again!
