US Coast Guard

If you count the jet stream then the prevailing winds are from West to East making the

the West coast the windward side. (This is of course given that the assumption is made over a period of time.) Not taking into account the jet stream, there have been numerious times when the honor has floated between each coast for prevailing winds.

So the real question, does it really matter?

CBO stands for Congressional Budget Office.

While for most of his "career" he is portrayed as a civilian sailor, when in the military (ignoring the one "In the Army Now" episode), he was in the Coast Guard (source: Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves he was stationed at a Coast Guard small boat station). Much of the confusion can be caused by two facts:

1) During times of war (eg WWII ) the Coast Guard is transferred to the Department of the Navy. So although he was still a Coastie, he could have been serving on a Navy Ship. (Even today it is not uncommon to find a Coast Guard team serving on a Navy Ship.)

2) During the WWII era, the Coast Guard uniform and the Navy uniform were almost identical, with the minor differences being too small to show in a comic strip. Even today most of the formal uniforms of the two services are identical except for the design on the buttons.

In the US, 'Semper Paratus', which translates to "Always Ready"

In the UK, Her Majesty's Coastguard has "Safer Lives, Safer Ships, Cleaner Seas." as its slogan.

The 19th US Constitutional Amendment implicitly gave women the right to vote in all levels of US elections.

Determines who are the party reprensentitives to the national election. A caucus can also mean any meeting of any sort by anyone, not just political candidates in this upcoming presidential election who use a complicated sounding word to shock and awe registered voters with political buzzwords to further their agenda.

The 15th amendment affected all citizens . It affected African American women because they COULD NOT VOTE , and Africans American men because, now they can vote and also Native Americans becuase they can't vote because the 14th amen ts saying there not nautaled there

It prevents presidents and congress members from trying to pull power when they aren't technically in office by shortening the "lame duck" time between election and inauguration. Inauguration used to be March 4 for both but now it's January 3 for Congress and Jan. 20 for president

Some were put on trial; some of these were convicted and a few were hanged. A few of the most wanted SS men (like Franz Stangl, Commandant of Treblinka) escaped to Latin America, especially Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. Most, however, went home, got jobs and went on to enjoy the benefits of the West German ecnomic miracle of the 1950s and 1960s.

The official answer is that the U.S. Navy is about 15 years older, based on the services' respective official "birthdays" (1775 for USN vs. 1790 for USCG), but the answer for those debating the issue really depends on the criteria used to gauge the age of the U.S. Navy.

It should be noted here that the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, each date their respective creations to when they were first created by the Continental Congress, when the U.S. still consisted of British colonies--they do not use the dates when they were reconstituted under the U.S. Constitution by the U.S. Congress.

The Continental Congress created the Continental Navy on 13 October 1775, but it was disbanded after the Revolutionary War--the ships were sold and the officers and sailors were released. According to a U.S. Supreme Court decision, the new United States government began to legally function under the U.S. Constitution on 4 March 1789. Since the U.S. Constitution authorized the U.S. Congress "to provide and maintain a Navy," the effective date of the Constitution could also be considered as a possible birthday of the Navy. However, Congress did not take action to provide ships until 1794, when it authorized the procurement of six frigates, the first three of which were not completed and launched until 1797 (the 1794 authorization could be considered a possible birthday of the Navy and would be equivalent to the 1790 authorization for the Coast Guard, providing the grounds for the question being debated here). Between 1794 and 1798, naval affairs were administered by the Department of War, until the Department of the Navy was created on 30 April 1798.

The U.S. Coast Guard celebrates 4 August 1790 as its birthday, which is when the first U.S. Congress "authorized the construction of ten vessels to enforce tariff and trade laws and to prevent smuggling...The service received its present name in 1915 under an act of Congress when the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the Life-Saving Service" (USCG website). There is no mention of any similar service being created during the colonial era under the Continental Congress, so the Coast Guard appears to be entirely a post-Revolution creation, unlike the Navy.

The bottom line is that the answer depends entirely on what criteria you want to use for dating the origins of the U.S. Navy. There are three options:

1) If you consider that the Continental Navy was the direct predecessor of the U.S. Navy and disregard the gap in physical continuity caused by its disbanding after the Revolutionary War, then 13 October 1775 would be the birthday (this is the official birthday used by the U.S. Navy and recognized by the rest of the U.S. government).

2) If you use the date that a naval force was authorized by the U.S. Constitution, then the 4 March 1789 effective date for the beginning of the U.S. government would be the birthday and the Navy would still be older than the Coast Guard--but only by about a year (this writer has not seen any other author argue for the use of this date, but presents it here as a technical possibility).

3) If you want to count the date that the U.S. Congress first acted to create a physical U.S. Navy, then the 1794 authorization to procure ships would be the birthday and the Coast Guard would then be about four years older than the Navy (this option appears to be the origin of the debate behind the original question).

Arguments could be made for the additional options of counting the 1797 launching of the first Navy ships or the 1798 creation of the Department of the Navy as possible Navy birthdays, but these are discounted in the interest of equal treatment. Since the official Coast Guard birthday is based on a procurement authorization and not actual launching, the 1794 authorization for the Navy ships is considered to be the latest possible birthday of the Navy in this argument, as it treats both services equally.

The US military chain of command for all services starts with the President of the United States, as the Commander and Chief. After the President there are thousands of permutations of the Chain of Command to the individual soldier, sailor, airman, marine, or coastguardsman.

The 4th Amendment ensures that the privacy of U.S. citizens is protected, except in the case that a warrant is given by an authority for a reasonable purpose. (In example, a warrant may be given to search a home if an authority has reason to believe that the owner or resident has committed a crime.)

the 18th amendment is not important anymore because its gone the reason for is the 21 amenment

The 18th amendment is the only time that the US Constitution has ever been amended to reduce the rights of citizens.

Yes, the Praetorian Guards protected the city of Rome and the Emperor. This made it very powerful Some men became emperors by bribing this guard. The Praetorian Guards also got involved in plots against or the overthrow of some emperors. Their barracks was the Castra

Praetoria,

which was by the eastern part of the city walls, near Rome's main railway station.

Just a note: In addition to the protection given by the Praetorian, the emperors also had personal bodyguards, usually Germans. The Varrus

disaster was doubly hard on Augustus as he became suspicious of his German bodyguards and dismissed them.
