Who is on the heads side of the US dime?
The dime is the American coin valued at ten (10) cents; one tenth of a dollar. Each United States coin bears the image of a person.
The dime bears the image of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The dime is the thinnest of United States coins and smallest minted for circulation.
A portrait of Franklin Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, appears on the front of the US dime.
Did you know that nowhere on the dime does it state its actual value in cents or dollars?
CorrectionThe word "dime" IS the coin's denomination. The dime was intended to be a separate unit in a 10-based coinage system which included mills, eagles, and unions in addition to the familiar dollars and cents:10 mills = 1 cent
10 cents = 1 dime
10 dimes = 1 dollar
10 dollars = 1 eagle
10 eagles = 1 union
Mills and unions were never used, and eagles were only used for gold coins. People found it easier to express prices simply in dollars and cents, so the denominations "dime" and "eagle" exist only in the names of those coins.
What is a man serving in the army called?
I think the most of the people that serve the army are called soldiers.

How does one get into the Army Special Forces?
It takes commitment, determination and the willingness to succeed. It not only takes commitment to train and prepare the body physically for the arduous conditions of the job but also to prepare yourself mentally for the draining and often mind numbing conditions that candidates are put through in their period of training. You need to be prepared to undertake any given task at any time and that is what makes those that succeed from those that fall below the line.... the ability to adapt to any situation and to have the physical and mental capacity to achieve it. It also takes will and a driving force from within to really succeed as a special forces soldier. It is all mind over matter, being able to push your limits beyond what you ever expected. It is the ability to keep moving forward, to perform one more rep, to stay awake after a week with less than 2 hours sleep. When asked to do the impossible, you must be prepared to put in everything that you have and more and get on with the job. Another side which i believe is just as important is the emotional aspect of the situation. Special forces soldiers must be able to drop what their doing at an instant and clear their minds of anything that may be bothering them. They must be somewhat 'emotionless' when it comes to leaving their friends, family and loved ones at short notice to perform often life threatening duties at any destination. I personally believe that special forces soldiers are some of the strongest and most determined men out their. I respect what they do and the commitment that they need to get to where they are. They are an inspiration to me and i hope that in the not too distant future i too will be one of those men, inspiring others out their to never give up and achieve your dreams. By Ben S
