Yes, because you are working for it :-)

And I can tell you, that I was 12 years in the French Legion and
since 1995 I am working in a military internal service (IT). 

We are using postgresql on Debian GNU/Linux.

You mean "Common Criteria EAL-5". I am working for the french
governement and currently we have only EAL-4 for around 30 packages
from Debian GNU/Linux v3.0 (WOODY) reached. The rest (~450) of the
selected Packages are in EAL-3.

Our goal is to reach EAL-5 not only for Servers but Workststions to.

Maybe in the middle of the next year we will create a public mirror.

Unfortunatly many Developers do not like to follow the CC-EAL.

There are no official certifications, nor are there
likely to be.  But certifications may be offered by
individual companies, like Red Had does with Linux.
Here is one which might be of interest:

Thanks for your answer, I will check with that company. My problem 
however was not with certification of a person as an expert of postgres, 
but of certification of the platform as suitable for military enviroment 
(like the C2 or ITSEC certifications...)
