Explanation. (1) In general. Article 91 has the same general objects with respect to warrant, noncommissioned, and petty officers as Articles 89 and 90 have with respect to commissioned officers, namely, to ensure obedience to their lawful orders, and to protect them from violence, insult, or disrespect. Unlike Articles 89, and 90, however, this article does not require a superior-subordinate relationship as an element of any of the offenses denounced. This article does not protect an acting noncommissioned officer or acting petty officer, nor does it protect military police or members of the shore patrol who are not warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officers. 2) Knowledge. All of the offenses prohibited by Article 91 require that the accused have actual knowledge that the victim was a warrant, noncom missioned, or petty officer. Actual knowledge may be proved by circumstantial evidence. (3) Striking or assaulting a warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer. For a discussion of "strikes" and "in the execution of office," see paragraph 14c. For a discussion of "assault," see paragraph 54c. An assault by a prisoner who has been discharged from the service, or by any other civilian subject to military law, upon a warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer should be charged under Article 128 or 134. (4) Disobeying a warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer. See paragraph 14c(2), for a discussion of lawfulness, personal nature, form, transmission, and specificity of the order, nature of the disobedience, and time for compliance with the order. (5) Treating with contempt or being disrespectful in language or deportment toward a warrant, non-commissioned, or petty officer. "Toward" requires that the behavior and language be within the sight or hearing of the warrant, noncommissioned, or petty officer concerned.

Who was the first US Navy Signalman?
Not sure about male, but I found the first female Signalman was Elizabeth Nelson-Hein of Jasper, Alabama. The U.S. Navy disestablished the rating of Signalman in late 2003, reassigning visual communications duties to the Quartermaster rating. Signalmen were either absorbed into the Quartermaster rating, or allowed to switch to other job fields in the Navy. Many chose the Master-at-Arms rating, which expanded dramatically to meet the needs of the Navy in the War on Terror.

Risk of injury or death was involved, should the other warrior respond violently. The phrase "counting coup" can also refer to the recounting of stories about battle exploits. It can also involve stealing items from the enemy. The term is of French origin from the verb couper, which means literally to cut, hit or strike. The expression can be seen as referring to "counting strikes". Coups were recorded by notches in the coup stick, or by feathers in the headdress of a warrior who was rewarded with feathers for an act of bravery. Counting coup was referred to in the Star Trek: The Next Generation first season episode, "Code of Honor".

Why people prefer infantry job in army?
From my experience, they consider it bragging rights. However, if the scenario at Fulda Gap had ever happened, Cavalry units would've had cooks who were further ahead of the lines than any of the infantry, so....
Other than that, being in a line unit would prepare you better for any type of Special Forces selection you may wish to attend, and you'd be more likely to be eligible for enlistment bonuses.
What are the weight regulations to join the US Army?
Yes. There are height/weight standards you must maintain while you're in, as well. Generally speaking, your height and weight won't necessarily exclude you from enlistment. If you're overweight and/or unable to pass your initial PT test, you'll have to spend time in a Physical Fitness Unit before you ship downrange for Basic Training. If you're too short or too lightweight, it could exclude you from some programmes (such as Airborne School).
