Well there is one way, it's called ROTC. There for about 2 months or 3 you spend most of your time doing what military personals do but without having to go to war its just a sample of what real military is or you can spend your time at home and do your own work outs and all you really need is a pull up bar. Do push ups, sit ups or crunches, and pull ups. I Also reconmend you to run and get your stamina up and leg muscles. Start out slow with your reps. and sets and gradually raise up the number of times you do them and take days off since over working can really damage your body so probably on everyother day you would work out and jog.

10 push ups of 3 sets

15 sit ups of 3 sets

2 pull ups of 3 sets

Run 2 miles

Start from there and raise the number of sets and reps. you do them.

Remeber do them every other day so it would be on monday you train and then Tuesday you get rest.

Drink a lot of water probably a 2 quarts of water a day.

Hope this helps. (I Also work out =])

depending on age, they do have military for youths age 12+ where you can join up with they, they teach/train you on different aspects on military life and training and you do different activities, i was in a program called CAP (Civil Air Patrol) its similitary to the Airforce but for kids, i learned drill, physical training, learned to fly a plane and when to military bases and did there training courses. (also you do get to wear uniforms, cammies and dress uniforms, normally there the older out dated uniforms that arn't used anymore)

Southern white males became re-enfranchised, while Northern voters became less concerned with the problems of the newly-freed slaves and more concerned with the problems of industrialization - monopolies, abuse of working people, rise of the super-wealthy, etc.

4-6 years depending on contract and MOS (job).

The Table of Organization is routinely changed as the mission and changes in tactics and equipment evolves. The 20,000 man Division of yesteryear may not be seen as essential today or tomorrow. It won't alter much to the individual rifleman who will be a part of a fire team, squad and platoon. His job will remain the same. He will "close with the enemy and destroy him."

The fourragère - a military award that distinguishes military units as a whole - is worn by the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments. They were awarded the fourragère for earning the Croix de Guerre with palm leaf three times during World War I.

That question might have been asked by a recruiter or in a local tavern and is only intended to stir up a brawl. The US Fleet has strategic weapons designed to vaporise cities, countries and continents that the Army lacks. The Navy and Marine Corps Fighter Squadons would tip the balance over Army Helicopters and sheer numbers. Balistic missles provide a bigger bang then MLRS and artillery. The Navy, Marines and Air Force are not intended to hold terrain; that's why the Army exists. Each branch of the military has its mission and is trained to complete their task. Part of that training is teamwork. As a US soldier, I recall assisting Marines in repairing their combat equipment. Air Force bases were often protected by Soldiers and Marines as they were trained in ground warfare. A Navy base usually has a Marine unit to secure the base. Most Soldiers and Marines get along very well, one Marine when asked why stated "We eat the same dirt!"

Then you're a soldier who is married to another soldier? Unless you delve into issues such as enlisted and officers getting involved with each other, there really isn't much more to it than that. You may, however, have to accept being assigned to different duty stations if one of you or both of you were to come down on PCS orders.

You most likely will keep the same rank. You might be able to get a promotion if the MOS you are going into needs people but the person that would have the best answer would probably be a recruiter or someone in your admin. might know.

Marines are in Iraq for more than one reason. 1 reason they could be in Iraq because of the date "9/11." Another is because back in 1989 the Iraqis claimed 1 type land to be theirs. It looks like that could be another reason. Thanks, you're Local Nerd, Wes.

58,196 names are listed on the Vietnam wall. Most casualty figures I've seen say 45,000. I'm not positive, but I think those are KIAs and not a mixture of KIAs and wounded. There are also approximately 10,000 MIAs, who may or may not be dead. There are nearly 60,000 names on the Vietnam wall now. We have been adding over the last few years the names of the veterans who have passed on. The numbers were approx. 58,929 last I looked.
