US Army

George Armstrong Custer was the Boy General of the Civil War. A West Point Cadet when the war began, he was a dashing and flamboyant Major General when the war ended. Reverted back to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he served in the Indian Wars with a checkered record. He was doubtless a man of great personal courage, a poor tactician, and became an American Hero when he lost his command to the Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapahoe at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Yellow Hair, the Golden Boy General died with much of his US 7th Cavalry on 25 June 1876.

When Watergate first happened the true importance of what happened wasn't known by people. It seemed that 4 men broke into the office and there was no evidence as to how far up the chain of command the scandal went. Information came out bit by bit and little by little. The world reaction was worse. I was living in Germany at the time and saw the price of gold fall which meant my dollar went from 3.50 marks per dollar to 1.50 per dollar almost over night. After it was understood what Nixon had done and his part he was forced to resign and Ford replaced him. Some of the problems today in Congress and the Executive branch are a result of Watergate. I think the worse effect of Watergate was the psychological damage. Trust was lost between the government and the people and more people became hardened against the government.

For someone serving in the military, it would be the Congressional Medal of Honor.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom (awarded by the President) and the Congressional Gold Medal (bestowed by an act of the US Congress) are the highest US civilian awards, which also can be awarded to military personnel.

Like in Real Estate it depends on the location, the time and the place. It will always include a weapon, ammunition, rations and water, First Aid Kit, some form of shelter, and the harness and packaging to tote it, like canteen, haversack, knapsack, and bandoleers. Add whatever else is required: communications, grenades, LAW, compass, optical devices, flashlight, Tobasco sauce, bug spray, and never ever forget your bayonet and spare socks, and extra ammo. Those are the basics, different wars will mandate different tools.

what kind of stupid question is that heck yay

No.

Lieutenant commander is an O-4, the equivalent of Major in the other branches. A commander is O-5, same as a lieutenant colonel in the other branches.

Equivalent ranks, navy given first:

O-1 Ensign - Second Lieutenant

O-2 Lieutenant junior grade - First Lieutenant

O-3 Lieutenant - Captain

O-4 Lieutenant commander - Major

O-5 Commander - Lieutenant colonel

O-6 Captain - Colonel

O-7 Rear admiral, lower half - Brigadier general

O-8 Rear admiral, upper half - Major general

O-9 Vice Admiral - Lieutenant general

O-10 Admiral - General

O-11 there have only been ten officers of this rank, all WWII commanders - Admiral of the Fleet - General of the Army

Some claim that General Pershing and George Washington (by posthumous congressional action) held six-star rank, as General of the Armies. During Washington's service he was a Lieutenant general.

well it all depends on the type of storm and how bad it is i cant really answer that ..maybe if you gave a bit more detail ..sorry

There are four reasons that can attributed to their success.

First, the corps is all volunteer and therefore, no one is there that does not want to be.

Second, the training is rigorous and extreme. Within this training comes the marine fighting ethos that marines live and die by. The outstanding history of the Marine Corps is instilled in each marine during this training.

Thirdly, the discipline of each Marine is the highest level of discipline of any fighting force (somewhat biased here seeing that I was a Marine). This discipline is the unseen ingredient in many battles that produces a victory for the marines in that battle.

Marines never, never, let down the man fighting beside them. Each and every Marine will give his life to save the Marine fighting next to him.

There is another aspect of Marine fighting that was true in the 60s during the Vietnam war, but may not be so unique today and that is that the Marines were successful because they went straight at the enemy and did not stop till he was defeated. The strategy that the Marines taught the smallest fighting unit-the squad- was always the same---take the battle to the enemy immediately and without hesitation and do not stop until you have defeated him.

because we are Americas pit-bull. we are teased, beaten, starved, mis-treated, and kept in small dirty, disgusting quarters. every now and then we get cut loose and take our frustrations out on everyone around us. YUT!

I don't know. There should be a public registry for dishonorably discharged service members much like the one for sex offenders. This makes it harder for them to lie to obtain employment. Also it would allow many websites, such as Facebook, DeviantArt, FictionPress.com, etc. to be able to deny service to those who dishonored themselves and their country.

'In Theater' refers to serving in a combat (IE: Afghanistan) or operational (IE: Kuwait) environment.

Because George bush wanted to invade Iran for the oil resource and the only way they could possibly do that is to sacrifice a few 1000 people to invade them a to make it look like an act of self defence and this all happened because Iran etc were planning to put a hold on the oil unless the western countries paid more money for the oil being produced

It was considered the first modern war, with millions of soldiers fighting; it pitted Americans against Americans; railroads were used to transport large numbers of troops and materiel to areas where they were needed quickly, and it was the first American example of the concept of "total war"; advances in weaponry like the machine gun, submarines, and mines made killing large numbers most efficient

The rank is called Brigadier General. They'll typically be either staff officers or Assistant Commanders of a division.

The reason why flat footed people aren't allowed in the Army is because of the shoes that they have to wear and also because if shooting at a close range they can lose balance of the gunshot won't be effective.

Flat foot people don't usually get into the army because of not only the boots they have to wear, but the Army has to travel by foot a lot. There are already multiple foot problems in the Army and a flat footed person would have many more problems with their feet and possibly hold up their unit. Having flat feet has nothing to do with firing off a rifle.

The above is not true. the doctors at MEPS will tell you if your flat feet are disqualifying or not. If your flat feet are symptomatic (painful) then they will disqualify you, or if you have ever been prescribed custom orthotics by a doctor. If they are asymptomatic (not painful) then the doctor will tell you if you can join or not.

Several thousands, since 1963.

That was the Minutemen!

You may be able to join the National Guard with a waiver. You are required to have 20 years remaining from enlistment to your 60th birthday. You would need to sign a memorandum of understanding concerning that gap, and be able to pass a vigorous physical fitness test and pass medical exams. If you already have any military time, that would be a great plus. You could also consider serving the military as a civilian or contractor. The government jobsusa website has information on civil service positions available in the Department of Defense. There are several contractors, such as Brown & Root or ComTEK that work alongside the military.

For the US Army, sergeant major basic pay currently is based on longevity...the length of time they have served. Using 26 years of service as an example, a sergeant major in 2010 made $6130.

Counter that with what the first Sergeant Major of the Army made when he was selected to that position with 26 years, $657.30.

with 65 Miles of ranges what do you think?

The step that includes the collective efforts of all commanders and staff in the Army's PR system is called execution.

General of the Army.

If you are in that unit when it's awarded the Meritorious Unit Citation, yes. If the award was bestowed to the unit before you were in it, then no.

Probably not. It's extremely hard just switching from a reservist to active duty, I've heard guys that we're waiting more than 14 months to make the switch to active and are still on hold. Its all about the needs or the Marines reserves and the the needs of the active duty command. It probably won't even be possible to switch, unless you haven't left for boot yet.
