What problems do liquid fuels pose which solid fuels don't?

Think of the "SAFETY" reasons. I will use Ethanol as an example. If you opened an ethanol bottle there is most of the time a safety bottle top. But if there was'nt one then if someone accidentally knocked you. Then you could spill the Ethanol everywhere. So one of the reasons SPILLAGES. Another reason in this case Ethanol is a flammable substance. Do not get me wrong but I know that not all liquid fuels are flammable.It is the fumes of Liquid fuels that are flammable instead of the fluid. But if you opened a Ethanol bottle and a source of fire was lit nearby. (Example a Bunsen Burner). Then the Ethanol might start to burn and cause a fire. So another reason FLAMMABLE.These are two problems that liquid fuels cause that solid fuels do not. I tried my hardest to detail them and make it understandable :)

Would you classify having control of Vicksburg as an advantage or disadvantage for the union?

Having control of Vicksburg was a significant advantage for the Union during the American Civil War. Vicksburg was a strategic location on the Mississippi River, and the Union's capture of the city in 1863 allowed them to effectively control and blockade the river, splitting the Confederacy in two. It also provided the Union with a base to launch further campaigns into the Confederate territory.

What school do the rangers go to?

An army rangers has only one definition, a member of the 75th ranger regiment.

The schools to pass are:

1. basic combat training

2. advanced individual training for a mos found in the rangers.

3. Basic Airborne school

4. Ranger assessment and selection program. This course is 8 weeks and about 1/4 of candidates pass. After complete, you will be assigned to one of the 4 battalions of the Regiment and will be considered an army ranger.

NOTE: Army Ranger school has very little to do with being a ranger. Although graduates of this school earn the Ranger Tab, they are merely Ranger qualified, and are not rangers. A ranger must only attend this course to hold a leadership position in the Regiment and attend specialty schools.

Do women assigned to the USrmy's 75th Infantry ranger regiment have to attend Airborne course and RIP?

If there are women in the 75th Ranger Regiment (as far as I know, there aren't, but there could be some at the Regimental level), they'd be required to be jump qualified, but wouldn't go through RIP. The Ranger battalions, like any other infantry battalions, isn't composed exclusive of infantry - there are also cooks, motor transport operators, etc. assigned to those battalions.

· Producing Power.

·

o Controls flooding & PROS:

o Dams can store rain water or water directly from the river itself. Then, in case of a Drought, the dam will still have a relatively constant supply of water.

o Producing Power.

o Controls flooding & provides recreational activities such as boating fishing and swimming, if the lake is not being used for drinking water (Dam Society).

o Simple design makes for inexpensive repairs and maintenance costs (Dam Society).

o Produce inexpensive (after completion) and clean power.

o Renewable energy source, because the water is not destroyed by passing through the dam.

o If needed, dams can be shut down instantly, where thermal plants take hours, and nuclear plants can take days! (Dam Society).

CONS:

· Hydroelectric power production require flooding of entire valleys and scenic areas.

· Disrupts natural seasonal changes in he river, and ecosystems can be destroyed.

· Ends flooding that help to clean out the silt in rivers, causing them to clog (Energy Laboratory).

· The silt that usually flows down to the Beaches and Estuaries is block by the dam.

· Studies show that the plant decay caused downstream of major dams produces as many greenhouse gasses as more conventional methods of producing electricity.

· Dams are expensive to build, and due to drought may become useless, or produce much less power than originally planned.

· A dam being build in Quebec will end up flooding an area as large as Switzerland (Energy Laboratory).

· Dams can break in a massive flash flood.

Can you be in the Army Reserve and be a Ranger at the same time?

If you earned your Ranger tab on active duty prior to joining the Army Reserve, you will still continue to be Ranger qualified. If you are simply serving in the US Army Reserve and intent to be sent to Ranger school from your Reserve unit, your chances are slim to none, and you would be better off to join the National Guard and try to get into a Special Forces unit of the National Guard. If you are looking to serve in a Ranger unit of the US Army Reserve, then this will be impossible, as there are no such units in the Army Reserve. The US Army Reserve is composed of training and support units, with all combat arms relegated to the Regular Army and Army National Guard. The one exception to this is the 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry Regiment, which is an infantry battalion of the US Army Reserve, which is composed of reservists from Hawaii, American Samoa, Saipan, and Guam.

Can you become an army sniper with a GED?

A few months ago, there was a recruiter who posted on this site regularly. According to him, the Army was actual overstrength, and wasn't accepting GEDs at the time - you had to possess at least a high school diploma. That may or may not have changed since then - you'll have to talk to a recruiter to find out. If they're accepting recruits with GEDs again, you'll have as much opportunity to become a sniper as someone with a diploma. However, you don't enlist as a sniper - you'd enlist as... typically an infantryman or cavalry scout... and then you have to prove to your chain of command that it's worth it for them to send you to the sniper course. There's more to it than just being a good shot.
