US Army

No. A Rear Admiral is a one or two stars officer, while an Admiral is a four-star officer.

The Admirals rank is as follows:

1 star: Rear Admiral (lower half)

2 star: Rear Admiral (upper half)

3 star: Vice Admiral

4 star: Admiral

Where 4 star is the highest, equivalent to an Army or Air Force General.

The USA is still experimenting with new infantry rifles. The M-16 assault rifle, although originally purchased for and by the USAF in the early 1960's, was accepted by the USA, then the USMC for original use in Vietnam. The .223 cartridge (5.56mm NATO) was originally a hunting cartridge used for varmits (ground squirrels, coyotes, bobcats (before Bobcats were designated a game animal), etc.). The standard USA cartridge had always been 40 caliber or larger in the 19th century (1800's), with 45-70 being the standard. In the 1890's the USA transitioned to 30 caliber (30-40 Krag); from 1898 thru the Vietnam War USA cartridges remained standard at 30 caliber (30-06 Springfield, 30-06 M-1 Garand, .308 (7.62mm NATO) M-14 service rifle). The varmit cartridge in .223 (a .22 caliber bullet) was adopted for "jungle warfare" usage in Vietnam for two reasons: 1. Smaller cartridges allowed MORE cartridges to be carried by the infantryman. Hence, more firepower. 2. Smaller cartridges, such as the .223 (5.56mm) allowed a FASTER rate of fire with easier control for the rifleman. The trade-off was, the varmit cartridge (.223) didn't have the longer flight (range) of a .30 caliber bullet (M-14 rifle) nor the hitting power of a .30 caliber bullet. But the USA and everybody else (civilians, police, marines, air force, etc.) wanted that fast rate of fire that was easily controlled...thus the smaller calibers have become a favorite in the "shooting world." But this post Vietnam generation of shooters (military, law enforcement, civilians, etc.) have forgotten the original reason for the M-16..."jungle warfare"...SPRAY and PRAY. Originally, the USA catergorized the M-16 as a jungle rifle for issue to US troops in Vietnam ONLY, US troops stationed in the United States, South Korea, Germany (Europe) retained the M-14 service rifle (.308/7.62mm NATO) as general issue; until around 1970, when the M-16 phased in to replace it. The full automatic (rock in roll) craze took effect, and everybody had to have it. Now they're finding in Iraq/Afghanistan/etc. that the .223 doesn't have the knock down that the .30 caliber bullets have. Why should they be discovering that now? The M-16 was a "jungle warfare" rifle issued for combat in Vietnam...Grandfathers have forgotten to tell their grandsons that! The Vietnam War, fought with M-16 assault rifle was the FIRST TIME (and it appears the last time, since they've been modified to short round bursts since Vietnam) in world history that an army was fielded in which every single fighting man (soldiers and marines) were armed with a FULLY AUTOMATIC rifle.

That is a question of national security. You will never find such a list unless you have a top secret security clearance.

In most armies 'Colonel' is a regiment Commander and the highest 'field ' rank before getting into General officers.

They have to retire the month following their 64th birthday but usually retire well in advance of this, so as to not impede the promotions of subordinates. However the Secretary of Defence can defer it until the month after the officers 66th birthday and the president can defer it until their 68th birthday. If your promoted to 5 star General, you remain on the active list for life.

US ARMY:

Black: everyone, artillery, armor, mechanized infantry, scouts, and grunts.

Tan: Rangers, these are your light infantry special ops, armed with a sidearm or just an assault rifle like a black beret is.

Green: Special Forces commando qualified or considered soldiers, these are land troops with advanced training in things like night operations, stealth, renaissance, marksmanship, camoflauge, and survivial techniques.

Maroon: Airborne, parachutists and halo jumpers, some have training in foreign weaponry.

Hope this helps

That depends on which division you're referring to - there are several divisons in the US Army, US Army Reserve, and US Army National Guard. The rank typically held by a Division Commander is Major General (two stars).

True

Within the US Federal Government, the executive branch appoints the various judges in the Federal justice system. Supreme Court judges and Federal district judges are appointed by the US President and must be approved by a majority of the US Senate.

You can do it, but it depends on several things. If you are active duty and fairly new, you can forget about it. I just did it, but I was only a few weeks away from my ETS date. It's fairly easy to do if you are close to your ETS. The first thing you need to do is find a Coast Guard recruiter who will work with you. He will sign a form called a Conditional Release, which tells the Army that the Coast Guard is willing to work with you. You then take that form and get it signed by your company and battalion commanders. This form basically says that you will be released from the Army on the condition that you will go active duty in the Coast Guard. It won't actually take effect until you swear in to the Coast Guard. Once you get that form signed, the process is pretty much the same as when you joined the Army. The decision to release you lies completely with your company and battalion commander. They won't usually do it, but if you are close to getting out anyway, it should be pretty easy. However, if you are still pretty new and decided that the Army isn't for you, you can probably forget about it. Hope this helps.

a pattern example of an indicator.

yes. there is not much information on him and his family. but he does hate kids as said is a few articles online.

Reenlist and get an honorable discharge. I knew two guys that had dishonorable discharge they reenlisted and got honorable discharges.

reenlist? no. go to school and leave it off of your resume. You can still get financial aid and have a great life.

Find a soldier and ask him to look that person up on there AKO white pages.

It depends on the situation.

In virtually 99% of all cases, the enlisted member salutes the officer first.

However, and though not specifically required by law or military regulation, the only exception is if the enlisted member is a Medal of Honor recipient; in that case, all ranks, junior and senior, are encouraged to salute the MOH recipient first as a matter of respect and courtesy.

The army doesn't have any planes, only helicopters. The Air Force has all the planes. The army does not have fighter planes, but they do have transport planes. The navy has planes as well. All fixed wing aircraft that carry army service members are piloted and owned by the air force. But yes, the navy does have a variety of planes based off of aircraft carriers.

Admiral is a rank exclusive to naval forces.

You have to be a US citizen to join the US marines

i think its actually permanent resident

I am not sure you stated your question right but Army(Soldier), Air Force(Airmen), Navy(Sailor), and Marines are Marines. They are all in the United States Military.

One can find information on Army recruitment in many different places online and offline. If one attends a institution of learning, there are usually Army recruitment officers there to find information from, or one could go to the Army website.

There is no such thing as a national guard group.

General George C. Marshall was the commanding general of the US Army in 1942. This position is called the "Chief of Staff". Marshall held the job from 1939 until the war was over. He modernized the Army, reorganized it, and grew it from the 21st largest in the world (just behind Bulgaria) to a force second to none. He was the true architect of victory in WWII. More than eight million men served in the army Marshall created. The Air Force was still a part of the Army then, so Marshall was also responsible for directing the Air War, with more millions under his orders. He built the Pentagon, and ran the program which created the atomic bombs. He later served as Secretary of State, and is perhaps best remembered today for the Marshall Plan he devised, which got Europe back on its feet after the war.

Marshall did not go to West Point. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1915, and served brilliantly as a staff officer in WWI.

One of the truly great Americans of all time.

Situation dependent. Really depends on the RE code, and what branch you were discharged from. An RE2 or RE3 could go into the Guard with a waiver.... generally, an RE4 cannot, but it MAY be possible in some instances, IF you were discharged from a branch other than the Army (the Guard can be weird like that).

Yes, you can collect Massachusetts unemployment benefits while serving in the National Guard, provided you meet the eligibility requirements. If you are called to active duty or your service affects your ability to find work, you may qualify for unemployment benefits. However, you must report your military service and any income earned during that time to the unemployment office. It's essential to check with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development for specific guidance based on your situation.
