DoD approval requires spending lots of money jumping

hoops. Do you wish to pay for this?
skimming the requirements, it also requires extensive

I have. (well not EAL4, but I have ATOs with Centos 6)
CentOS is not approved for DOD use. In fact, CentOS is not now, nor has it ever been *certified* for anything. Certifications require people to PAY to certify a product.
Specifically, EAL4 Certification, a requirement for the DOD, costs up to 2.5 million dollars .. see this link:

To clarify, you do not need to be EAL4 Certified to be used at DoD, you need approval from your DAA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_Approving_Authority). And your systems will need an ATO (https://ia.signal.army.mil/docs/DIACAPdefinitions.pdf).
