Are merchant marines considered military personel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, Merchant Seaman are civilians, certain people who worked as Merchant Seaman during World War two were granted veterans status, but they were not military personnel, in fact, during World War two if a Merchant Seaman who was otherwise fit for military service, was not employed on a ship for more than thirty days they were drafted into the Army.

Merchant Seaman who sailed during all other wars have not been granted veterans status.

The term Merchant Marine refers to an industry, just like the terms commercial airlines, or railroads refer to industries.

The fact that the Government contracts with private companies to move military cargo does not not make merchant seaman military personnel.

Any civilian in a war zone is subject to the UCMJ, whether a reporter for NBC news, a Merchant Seaman, or a contractor.

if more information go to the MARAD page Military to Mariners what the Merchant Marine and What it is not.

How were liberty ships better than other types of ships?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was a cargo freighter, not a warship. It was better than any other because it was cheap and simple to build at a time when a lot of ships were needed and a lot of them were being sunk by U-boats. Although liberty ships were never intended for combat use, several were converted during the Vietnam War era to serve in combat functions as intelligence gathering and communications platforms-research ships. Several did see combat, one was responsible for the first sinking of a German surface ship by an American vessel during WW2.

Is 28 too old to join the marines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yep, too Old. You can get in if your fit enough. But if you have a Wife and Kid. Forget about it. Too demanding on the soul no matter how fit you may be. Unless of course your a swinger and don't mind her sleeping around on you. But then again surprise surprise, hotties in other country's

Also, you'll be taking orders from Grunts Much younger then you are, while you feel you can take them out, they deserved their ranks. Your an old piece of meat to them when it comes to basics. It may be rewarding to you, But you'll also be breaking the hearts of your loved ones.

if your 38 and Single, by all means go for it. You've got nothing else going for you anyway.

How long is school to become a mortician?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Funeral directors are licensed in all States. State licensing laws vary, but most require applicants to be 21 years old, have 2 years of formal education, serve a 1-year apprenticeship, and pass an examination. Education and training. College programs in mortuary science usually last from 2 to 4 years. The American Board of Funeral Service Education accredits about 50 mortuary science programs. A few community and junior colleges offer 2-year programs, and a few colleges and universities offer both 2-year and 4-year programs. Mortuary science programs include courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, embalming techniques, restorative art, business management, accounting and use of computers in funeral home management, and client services. They also include courses in the social sciences and in legal, ethical, and regulatory subjects such as psychology, grief counseling, oral and written communication, funeral service law, business law, and ethics. Many State and national associations offer continuing education programs designed for licensed funeral directors. These programs address issues in communications, counseling, and management. More than 30 States have requirements that funeral directors receive continuing education credits to maintain their licenses. Apprenticeships must be completed under the direction of an experienced and licensed funeral director. Some States require apprenticeships. Depending on State regulations, apprenticeships last from 1 to 3 years and may be served before, during, or after mortuary school. Apprenticeships provide practical experience in all facets of the funeral service, from embalming to transporting remains. High school students can start preparing for a career as a funeral director by taking courses in biology and chemistry and participating in public speaking or debate clubs. Part-time or summer jobs in funeral homes also provide good experience. These jobs consist mostly of maintenance and cleanup tasks, such as washing and polishing limousines and hearses, but they can help students become familiar with the operation of funeral homes. Licensure. All States require funeral directors to be licensed. Licensing laws vary by State, but most require applicants to be 21 years old, have 2 years of formal education that includes studies in mortuary science, serve a 1-year apprenticeship, and pass a qualifying examination. After becoming licensed, new funeral directors may join the staff of a funeral home. Some States require all funeral directors to be licensed in embalming. Others have separate licenses for directors and embalmers, but in those States funeral directors who embalm need to be licensed in embalming, and most workers obtain both licenses. State board licensing examinations vary, but they usually consist of written and oral parts and include a demonstration of practical skills. People who want to work in another State may have to pass the examination for that State; however, some States have reciprocity arrangements and will grant licenses to funeral directors from another State without further examination. People interested in a career as a funeral director should contact their State licensing board for specific requirements. Other qualifications. Funeral directors need composure, tact, and the ability to communicate easily and compassionately with the public. Funeral directors also should have the desire and ability to comfort people in a time of sorrow. To show proper respect and consideration for the families and the dead, funeral directors must dress appropriately. The professions usually require short, neat haircuts and trim beards, if any, for men. Suits and ties for men and dresses for women are customary. Advancement. Advancement opportunities generally are best in larger funeral homes. Funeral directors may earn promotions to higher paying positions such as branch manager or general manager. Some directors eventually acquire enough money and experience to establish their own funeral home businesses.
