How many Chinese Communists fought in the Vietnam war?
Any number would be someone's guess; as the Chicoms (Chinese Communists) weren't supposed to be there. That's a warning for future readers/students to accept any such information with a grain of salt and to CONSIDER THE SOURCE. However, Red China did train NVAF pilots to fly their MiG17 & MiG19 jets (J5 & J6 Chicom versions). The Soviet Union did NOT supply MiG19s to North Vietnam; only Communist China. Additionally the USSR stopped sending MiG17s for a long period of time and the NVAF had to obtain MiG17 replacements (the Chicom J5 series) from Red China. Again, Chicom pilots had to train North Viet MiG airmen. Nearly all of this trng occurred across the Chicom border, when the NVAF pilots were trained they simply flew back across the border into North VN. The USSR supplied the NVAF with MiG21s after trng the NVAF airmen in the Soviet Union.
What is the US army's sniper designation?
The Army's Special Additional Skill Identifier for snipers is B4. They must complete the Sniper Course at Fort Benning, and must hold MOS 11B. A sniper who is a staff sergeant assigned to the 82nd Airborne (where all soldiers must be airborne qualified) is 11B3P B4. - - - - - There was no "special" designation for US Army snipers during the Vietnam War. They simply have had to fire expert during their BICT/AIT (Basic Infantryman Combat Trng (Boot Camp) & Advanced Individual Trng); which was all M14 service rifle back then (the US Army considered the M16 to be a "jungle rifle" during the first 3/4th's of the war and ONLY familiarized men with that rifle if they had orders to go to South Vietnam). If US Soldiers were not headed for South Vietnam; they never saw an M16 rifle (they were issued M14 service rifles). Men with an infantry MOS (back then) had an 11B designation. They went thru Basic (Boot Camp) with an M14 rifle. After graduation from Boot Camp they went to infantry AIT, then they trained with the "jungle rifle." When passing columns of 250 trainees (250 man companies) going in opposite directions, you could always tell who was headed for Vietnam; they had camo over their steel pots and an M16 rifle. Boot trainees had bare metal steel pots (steel helmets with NO camoflage covers) and carried M14 rifles, plus a white "maggot tag" sewn over their pockets. That white cloth tag indicted the man was a "boot" (trainee). AIT trainees won the right to rip their's off upon graduation from boot camp. Once in country, "Divisions" normally conducted sniper trng, normally 3 weeks; done in country; but brigades could conduct trng also. Orders were cut at Div or Bde level. Men were normally assigned to infantry battalions, HHC. They seldom spoke with anyone, other than with their own kind. They took their orders directly from the 2 or 3 (intel or ops). When their time was up, they simply turned in their XM-21 with their Redfield scope/case & night scope and went home. No one said a thing; and he didn't talk about it. Officially he never existed. The USMC started the first OFFICIAL US school in 1969. The US Army followed suit years later. Now, there might be an MOS indicator. Recruiting personnel may not want to disclose the sniper MOS code, but then again they might. One of the BIGGEST problems faced by all these special super dooper units is that they ATTRACT "wanna-bes", and the Vietnam era snipers manuals SPECIFICALLY states (it's in writing) to be aware of men that want to become snipers for all the wrong reasons (and then the Army Manual lists some of those reasons). Consequently, recruiters might be hesitant upon discussing that type of work. The manual also states: All snipers are marksman. But not all marksman are snipers.
How long was Vietnam war basic training?
Over 4,000 US War Dog's were used in the Vietnam War. The US Army used approximately 65%, the US Air Force 26%, the US Marines 7%, and the US Navy used 2% of the military working dogs. Training for handlers with their dog's was normally three months in either Ft. Gordon, GA (Military Policeman MOS), or the British Jungle Warfare school in Malaysia. In country training consisted of the bulk of wardog training (OJT). Approximately 10,000 men served as US war dog handlers in the Vietnam War, and approximately 73 US war dog handlers and 43 war dogs were killed there. Military working dog record's were not maintained until after 1968. None of the Vietnam War US war dogs returned to civilian life; most were euthanized or turned over to the ARVN military. Historians estimate that approximately 10,000 human lives were saved by the Vietnam War DOGS, during their tours of duty in Southeast Asia.
What are the motivations in the sniper?
Prior to their current popularity and the formal established schools which were created in the US in 1969 for the USMC and the 1980s for the US Army, US military (Army/Marines) were primarily men that were loners (men who preferred to work alone) and men that were hunters. Most snipers (during the Vietnam War) preferred to work alone (in contrast to being with a platoon or company of men). Even though the US Army (or Marine) sniper in Vietnam was stilled assigned a man or two (sniper team and/or a security team armed with automatic weapons) he still managed to operate or nearly operate alone in the field. In the rear (base camp or firebase) he remained to himself, choosing his own company, if and when opportunity arose. US Army snipers in Vietnam were trained in country at division (or in rare cases, brigade) levels. There was no official USA sniper trng stateside. For some men, mobility was also a prime factor. A sniper could go where the hunting was best. Return with the kill info to the S2, let the S3 know where he's headed next, then report again when another kill was made. On and on, until his tour was up. Freedom of movement, no hassels with higher, work your own hours and speed...but watch out for friendly fire. A sniper in Nam operated much like that of his enemy, and that could draw GI fire; this included airstrikes, helicopter gunships, hidden claymores, hidden electronic devices that alerted choppers and artillery strikes, and GI patrols. A hard working GI sniper in Vietnam had to watch for both enemy and friendly fire. Either could take him out!

America's battleships were the target of pearl what happened to them?
Carriers were the targets; but they were conveniently running errands that day (delivering airplanes to pre-arranged garrisons). Old obsolete US battleships remained as "targets" for the attackers. All were raised, repaired and put back to sea in time to obtain revenge at Suriago Straites in '44 (history's last battlewagon to battlewagon gun fight). Only the battleships USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma, and USS Utah (re-designated Tgt/Trng vessel) never put to sea again; and all three are still resting on the bottom (Arizona & Utah at Pearl & Oklahoma at sea between California & Hawaii).

What are the dimensions of managerial job?
The U.S. Department of Labor has a great website. Lots of good information. For example, the OCCUPATIONAL OUTLOOK HANDBOOK lists the job description for many types of jobs - too many to mention. I just went to their website and clicked on the Occupational Outlook link and in the search bar typed: manager. Here is a partial list of manager type jobs. You will then find: Nature of work; working conditions, trng, salary, responsibilities; job outlook, related occupations, etc. Also, you will find sources (and links) of additional informaiton like the International Public Managmene Association for Human Resources. Even if you are not from the USA, this is still a good website as it gives you a jumping point to get the informaiton and the links are good. http://www.bls.gov/search/ooh.asp?qu=Manager&ct=OOH 1.

Is the french foreign legion the toughest training army in the world?
Many services like to claim that status; a source of pride. The US SF/SEALs might be the toughest. The toughest training (besides actual war) is when a man has to do all of those "tough things" PLUS: 1. Learn a foreign language 2. Swim 3. Jump out of aircraft (airborne trng) 4. Hand to hand combat (unarmed killing) The Legion probably doesn't do some of the above. THE LEGION DOES ALL OF THE ABOVE.THEY ALL HAVE TO LEARN FRENCH THEY ARE FROM OVER 136 DIFFERENT NATIONS. 7000 MEN APPLY EACH YEAR AND ONLY 300 MAKE IT THROUGH.THEY ARE MADE TO FORGET THERE IDENTITY AND STRIPPED FROM EVERYTHING THAT IS THERS FOR THE FIVE YEARS THEY SPEND. THEY ARE MADE TO SPEND A WEEK IN JAIL WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER IF THEY DO NOT COMPLY. PRETTY HARD GOING THEY WOULD MAKE THE NAVY SEALS LOOK LIKE CHUMPS. Even more. So the Elite Unit of the FFL may be the 2. REP and till recently 13 DBL, they are officially not a Special Force. However about every Legionaire gets Commando Qualified. In certain areas, like jungle fighting, they are so advanced that all other NATO nations send their topteams at times to train with them. Yet, not a team matched their jungle fighters even on the obstacle course. Another example: get dropped in the jungle of french guyana by parachute, walk the whole team home for a week. Oh, if you catch Malaria, you walk! No pick-up, and sick leave. If you break a leg, you'll get carried by hand by the team. Which by the way is NOT even their elite. Talking about combat experience. Only certain American units can compare in experience. Next is the exteme hardships. No other Army Unit makes you walk 100-120 Kilometer in full gear after Basic Training. Indeed SAS, Navy Seals, Spetnaz and Co only recruit experienced soldiers (and make them march them less). In a lot of respect those units are in certain points a lot better. But the FFL creates the best overall warriors, who are all willing to die for mission.
What was the length of enlistment during Vietnam War?
USAF, USN, USCG, normally wanted 3 o 4 yrs out of a man; the USMC & USA settled for a minimum of a 2 yr enlistment. Draftees did 2 yrs; USA or USMC. Men sent to Vietnam did 12 months...their trng was roughly 6 months, thus they did 18 months out of 24 months with a very good chance of an early out (if "Nam" time) at 18 months (instead of the full 24 months active duty). Bottom line: a drafted man did 24 months active duty; if he went to "Nam", he might only do 18 months active duty. Men could volunteer for 2 yrs. But they got what the army gave them (infantry!). If he volunteered for 3 or more yrs he got to choose his MOS school (he was not guaranteed the Job...ONLY THE SCHOOL). Another words, if a man chose tanks, then he was guaranteed tank school (armor school), after he graduated he could still be sent to the infantry, etc.
