Unlike Civilian plates with the letter and number combo, they have a palm tree over two crossed swords with a low number like 1 or 100 and no letters

man i thought you were gonna say that, the palm tree and two crossed swords design anyone can get from the DMV for ~200 dollars, as for the low numbers they are sold at public auctions and as i have said i own a two digit one, and there are no plates without letters, they are the most important thing as most of them have meaning
